No way on earth was that fan coming out. The plastic fan clip on the right broke also I snapped off the upper radiator vent pipe fitting on the upper radiator hose. It just snapped right off when the fan touched it as I was lifting so now I have to buy an entire new upper radiator hose with that fitting and a new vent pipe to the overflow tank. I really dont see why the fan needed to come out. it looks like the alternator would be removable without taking the fan out. Are you guys really removing the fan without breaking crap or removing radiator hoses???
Just seems impossible on a 10 year old brittle car to be bending hoses and fittings and not expect them to snap off.
seriously.
