Remove the bottom bolt first (5mm ALLEN). This is the most difficult one but it's a snap with a little tip and the right tool. The plastic fan is in the way. But the fan blades are not evenly spaced. Spin the fan around and you'll notice a spot where the blades are much farther apart, this is your window to the bottom bolt.

Use the allen wrench tool described earlier and attach it to a ratchet. A 1/4" drive ratchet works best but a 3/8" drive ratchet and a 1/4" adapter also work. Use the top of the belt as a guide to find the bolt. Once you get this bolt off remove the other two allen bolts on the top left and top right of the distributor cap. Wiggle the fan and play around with the distributor cap to free it up.
