Removing the Brake Cooling Fan (Conquest Models)
Conquest models have the brake cooling fan mounted to the intake duct assembly located
on the right hand side of the vehicle.
Conquest models manufactured prior to CB17117, utilize a sheet metal style intake duct,
while later models have a molded plastic version.
In both cases the brake cooling fan is mounted to the intake duct. To access the mounting
hardware it will be necessary to separate the upper and lower body along the general area
where the fan is located and mounted to the ducting.
1.
Peel off the rubber bumper assembly from the vehicle. You need only to peel the
bumper along the section of rivets to be removed.
2.
Using a 3/16" drill bit, remove the rivets starting from the front center of the vehicle
to approximately the dash area. Photo ES-29
3.
Separate the body, supporting it apart with a couple of 2x4 pieces of wood.

The cooling fan is pop riveted to a
mounting bracket. This mounting
bracket is in turn mounted to the sheet
metal intake duct by 4 bolts and
lockwashers. Locate the 4 fasteners and
remove. Refer to the appropriate illus-
trated parts manual for detailed hard-
ware breakdown.
