I agree with Corbin on this one. I remember it being a tight squeeze trying to 
pull out the generator/fan assembly, and I think I had to remove some of the 
screws for the fan shroud so I could tilt it back a little.

Once you get it out, don't be surprised if the fan bolt is really tight. One 
time I had to run down to the gas station and get the guy to spin it off with an
impact wrench. And I _really_ tried to do it by hand.

This is a "roadside repair". Definitely no engine pull required.
