replacing duel cooling fan motor.. how to

Hello,
I have a stock 1987 5.7 Iroc. The driver's side fan is turning vey slow and I want to replace the motor, keeping it factory. What is the method? Can I RR fromt he top or do I have to put the car on a lift?
Any insight would be great.

you can unbolt the fan assembly from up top. Each fan should be 3 bolts. Once you have the fan out you can remove the fan blade. On the backside you will see bolts for the fan motor assembly. Pretty straight forward.

Just remember that the nut that holds the fan to the motor is reverse thread
