2005 Highlander rad fan assembly-chg one fan?

[mnormand]

One of the two fans seems to have bearing issues, and is wobbling a bit, causing vibration when running. I can easily see the movement when running, and feel it by hand when the engine if off.

Can a single fan be changed easily? Or must the whole assembly with both fans be changed? (about $115 on Amazon). Not sure if a single fan is available anyway.

Thanks for any quick answers!

Just wanted to report back that I was able to change this fan assembly straight up easy. Just had to remove battery to get a little working room, other than that, it was remove 6 self threading bolts, unclip two electrical connections, pull unit out, insert new unit, and button up. About 15 minutes.

Bought unit off Amazon, about $100 or so. Done deal !

Maybe this will help someone down the line.
