Oddly, I am not finding any details on my search; just "remove fan blade" type of comments with no instructions of how.
I saw one post that said the shroud could be worked artound the blade, but I don't seem to have the clearance, unless I bend it. i am just very concerned about damaging the radiator.
BTW, the belt is mostly off, and the pulleys are slick with PS oil. It is amazing that a seemingly trivial thing like the shroud would get in the way.
