4.Remove the bolt (64123-160) securing the Fan and Talon Ring to the crankshaft of the engine.

5.Pull the Talon Ring off the face of the Fan hub.

6.Rotate the Fan to allow the blades to align with the notches provided in the Housing face.

7.Thread a 3/4-16 x 5” long grade 5 (or better) bolt into the hub to jack or push the Fan from the crankshaft of the engine. (The Little Wonder #910505 jacking screw is recommended.) **Take note of the orientation of the fan with respect to the keyway upon removal. This is important when reinstalling the Fan.**

8.Upon removal of the Fan and Talon Ring, inspect for damaged or worn blades. If the Fan or Talon Ring is found to be damaged or excessively worn, it should be replaced with a new part.
