[DML] Re: Cooling fan fell off the motor shaft

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You got it slighly out of order. Remove the fan shroud (after snapping 
off a few of the studs on the bottom of the lower grille) - Remove the 
front torsion bar, lower radiator brackets, and then the 
radiator/condenser/fan assembly all in one piece.  

You should be able to "rotate" the whole assembly around the driver-
side end so that you don't have to disconnect the freon hoses. Then 
take it apart breaking even more of those tiny screws.If you have ever 
even considered replacing the radiator, this would be a grea time to do 
it. 

Plan on removing the whole grille to spot-weld some new studs across 
the bottom. Good time to upgrade that to stainless too.
