Has anyone had experience with appropriate balancing of a replacement
fan for Triumph four bangers? Any thoughts on how big a deal this is?
(Brian's situation below is troubling, but it seems to have resulted from
some kind of damage to the fan).
Also, it looks like if I only remove the fan and not the hub
extension, I might possibly be able to get it off without removing the
radiator. Does this sound right?
Thanks.
