'98 Patrol GUII, ST,4500 - viscous hub radiator fan complete

[lloyro]

Hi guys, I am having problems with my engine radiator fan. Does anyone have one in good condition or point me in the right direction to find one.
Thanks

If the problem is the viscous hub you can refill with fluid, if its just the blades, you can buy new ones on ebay for about $50

Hi 04OFF! Since this place (refill with fluid) more details please!
May be DIY???

You can replace the viscous gel in the hub, the down side is the fluid you need is sold by Toyota tho :clownredpuff:, but for fan hubs that do not come apart, you can drill a small hole and plug with metal mend ,epoxy or such products, i should make it clear i have NOT done this mod to a Patrol fan myself, so i would suggest more googling before undertaking the job.

Anyway, here is some idea on whats involved....
