how the heck does this thing come off??
Do you have to remove the shroud to get to the other side of the wire frame thing that goes around the fan??




I backed those nuts out but it didn't do anything as i thought

 

I removed the shroud and the aux fan came with it. At the moment it's leaning against the wall in the garage. I'll take a peek at it when I get home this morning and see if you can remove it without pulling the shroud.

 

Yep.

Pretty much an all day job.

One of the less intelligent assembly procedures on the V12.

Mine died, the engine fan was cracked, coupling iffy, so I fitted the Ford twin thermo fans back in 1998? and never looked back.

 

ah that sucks i was hoping there was someway around that.i hope i can rebuild the motor somehow, but if not ill just get one from advance auto and take it outta its housing.
anyone know the size? 10 or 11 i think
