HELP! 4G63 (G63B) radiator fan broke off!
Posted: Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:29 am
As the title says, my radiator fan has broken off! I'm not sure why, I'm wondering if a faulty water pump could have caused it? My water pump did have a leak and I was due to replace it, any how I opened the bonnet to top up the water and discovered the fan against the radiator. The belt is still intact and looks as good as new, but the bearing casing that was around the stalk on the fan is all busted with bits of metal teeth broken off.
Any body know how I go about fixing this? Do I need a whole new fan assembly? Or just the bearing case that was on the stalk? I've really got no idea and I need my L200 ute back on the road ASAP.
Here's some pics:
Do I need to replace the whole casing pictured here with the radiator hose coming from it?

Here's a shot of the bearing casing I'm talking about that was all chewed up. I was scraping bits out of the hole.

Here's a pic of the shaft, pics a bit blury but you can see it looks like some of the shaft where the groove is has been chipped off?

Thanks all for your help!
