<< Hi Folks,
There's a big chunk of missing metal from one of the fan blades that I
hadn't noticed before(!) - looks like it snapped off where it is riveted.
I had installed an electric fan a while back, so I'm thinking of removing
the engine fan altogether. Is it possible to do so without removing the
radiator? Looks like there is only 3/4" between each securing bolt and the
radiator.
I can turn each of the bolts with a wrench but once I start it will be
irreversible as I can't mark the position of the balance pieces, etc so I
thought I'd check with you guys first.

FWIW I have R & R'ed the fan from my TR3B in situ, so to speak. I had to
basically disconnect the radiator, and jockey it as far forward as possible.
Wasn't easy, tho' it was probably easier than taking off the front apron, etc.
>From what I have seen in TR3's it may not be possible to do this on all. I
may have simply been lucky. YMMV.
