    I really need your help. My car was involved in a crash... everything was repaired but one of my fan blades got damaged on the right fan so half is broken. I thought it was not important since its only one blade so I tried to cut corners and told body guy to put it on. Now, I regret that cause when you turn on a/c which turns on the 7 blade fan, there is a vibration due to the 1 missing blade out of the 7. Now, I know it is a pain to remove and change... I got the new fan and want to put it on from the bottom. Can you please tell me how to do this?


    How do you remove the shroud so I can change the fan?


    Please help.

    Yes. I got it installed now. It was really tough! Just loosen everything enough to stick hands there and remove it. U have to loosen the top and bottom 4 bolts first.

    Did you do this from the bottom of the car like you wanted to?
