IMS an original water pump hub had studs and nuts attached the fan. I think my present Mk1 has bolts, not my install. Point being the bolts may be to long and hit the radiator, especially if the hub isn't pressed on correctly but if the fan is held in place with nuts, a good end wrench and nimble fingers will have it off in short order. At last it looks like your noise will soon be gone.<br></div><div><br></div><div class="ydp9a87c910signature"><div>Tony Lang (TtT)<var id="ydp9a87c910yui-ie-cursor"></var></div></div></div>
