Easiest way to remove radiator fan?

[Hammock123]

Took the bumper off today to have a little nosey to see how easy it was and couldn't figure out where to start?

4 bolts, 2 top, 2 bottom. bottom ones are a bit fiddly to get to although the housing is slotted so you don't have to take the bottom bolts out.

Can i do them without removing the slam panel?

Tried to remove that but the last two bolts are facing inwards to the engine and a PITA to get at!?

don't need to full remove the bolts on the cross member, just loosen them with a 13mm spanner and the slam panel slots off them

ohh I see, any tips on how to even do that? There's about as much room in a duck's a**hole!?

You've only got to crack them off a bit. It's worth taking them all the way out when the slam panel is off and give them a quick clean and.throw some copper snot on them.
