OK, today is radiator cleaning day! (And tomorrow, now.)
Bodywork is off.
- 5 longs screws. What!? 4 are from the inner front, but the 5th? Any ideas?
- 1 washer on the floor. What!?
Plastic * 2 from the front of the radiator is off.
Fan bolts * 4 are off (I will file the pesky one with flats like you said, Brian, Tom - excellent suggestion.)
However, the fan won't come out without the lower bracing rod/contraption coming off, but it's not obvious if the bent 'thing' on either end is some form of lock nut.
It's not something I've seen before, and the one on the rad itself has no hex - its just flat. Weird.
Lastly, do the fan electrics unclip somewhere, like the temp gauge did from the front plastics?
Lots of questions - sorry
Pictures below. Thanks in advance...
