7. Fan assembly loosened from the screws and ready to be taken out. Note that the tube in front of the fan motor is in the way and need to be bent a little, or according to Matt L you can make the job a bit easier if you remove the horn and the extra bracket. Also, it is not necessary to bend the power steering cooler pipe. Remove the screw on the left side, and one additional screw just in front of the window washer fluid tank, and the cooler pipe will easily move out of the way. I was a bit lazy :-)




8. The fan assembly taken out, with the broken belt and the new one






New belt inserted, ignore my foot bottom right :-)



9. Cleaning the radiator with a vacuum cleaner



10. and everything back in reverse order
