Removing aux fans and shroud (m103)
How difficult is it to remove the aux fans/shroud after removing radiator? Did a search found nothing and the CD mentions nothing about it.
I need to take them off to "easy-out" a stripped hex bolt holding my fan clutch on. If someone's done this without removing the clutter, please share your secret with me! TIA ~Paul _________________ '91 300E, 206k miles |
Snap-on makes a great tool and you don't even have to take out the radiator. The extractors come in a set, and I think there are about 8 different sizes in the set. They are about 30mm or so long and have a left hand scribe on the top. You just get the right one, clean the head of the bolt and use a long box wrench with a pipe to crack it loose.
If you take out the radiator, you will also have to take out the A.C condensor.:eek: You don't want to do that!!! |

Thanks for the tip! Is this the set you speak of? http://www.members.aol.com/buckweeat/17735.jpg I sure as hell don't want to remove the AC condensor:rolleyes: I found this extractor set on their online catalog, here: http://buy.snapon.com/catalog/pro_det.asp?qt=1&INV_ONHAND=&FREIGHT=&qty=1&Item_id=10419&PartNo=YA769&Price=84.55&ListPrice=84.55&F ORMNAME=2&Desc=Extractor+Set%2C+4+pcs.&SUB_Cat_ID=866364&SUB_Cat_NAME=Extractor+Sets&Cat_ID=866227&C at_NAME=Extractors&group_id=1255&group_NAME=All-In-One+Extractor+Sets&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog Thanks again! ~Paul |
