So, I started to remove the electric radiator fan (which has made crazy noises for a while). Easy, right?? I start to remove the drivers side little 8-9mm bolt and SNAP!! Anyone have that happen before? Guess I will have to drill that out and go find a similar little bolt form Lowes/ACE.

 

That should be the worst that happens.
Listen if you have not done it already do not pull the fan out from the top after you unbolt everything without doing this first.
Go underneath and put some pliers to the metal clips on the tabs that go in the slots.
What I think would be better is too squeeze both at the same time while somebody else is pulling it up.
This could happen.


I did not know about them when I replaced the radiator 6 years ago.
I am guessing that I did that. It could have already been busted too though.
Glue never held, it was not a clean crack, but I did find it I put it in, stuck the broken part in the slot,
and then glued it, that it would hold.
Until the next time I pulled it out. LOL.
