Fan Disintegrated! Replacement 1,2,3 banana?

[ernzo]

Just leaving home, heard a thunk and then a shake. Looked under the hood, several fan blades broke off!

Question. Do I need to take off the radiator to get to this or can I just remove what is left of the shroud and the air intake and reach it that way?

doing a search now but i need to get to this right away as i need this vehicle for work etc. etc..

Thanks!!

I'm pretty sure I was able to get my fan out with my radiator still in. It's been awhile...

The radiator does not need to come out. The shroud might need to come off or you may be able to get the fan in and out with it on. Might as well replace the fan clutch while you are doing it.

Thanks guys, I followed these instructions, the shroud is toast, replaced the clutch, actually very easy! Got to get a replacement shroud but GTG for now!!
