Subject:rad. fan removal
From:Gerald Masar

Another question!
I want to remove and check the rad. fan on my '90 Westy (A/C). How far down do I have
to lower the radiator (with coolant and A/C hoses connected) to be able to remove the
fan shroud?
I was going to try to do it without raising the front end, by putting a small floor
jack with a support bracket under the radiator, but the range of lift or lowering is
not very much, so I am not sure I can get the shroud down and out. Getting to the
bolts that hold the shroud on is another problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jerry
