How to remove fan shroud?
#2
I have not done it, but I saved this awhile back:
Do not cut the shroud...
Drain a little coolant out to get the level below the radiator top tank.
Then disconnect the radiator hose and degas hose from the radiator and position them aside.
Remove the 2 8mm screws from the fan shroud.
Remove the 4 8mm screws on the radiator retaining brackets.
Rock the radiator forward to increase clearance for the fan shroud.
Push the fan shroud rearward and pull up.
Watch those two hose connections on the radiator!
The shroud will lift all the way off the vehicle.

I have heard you can get the fan removed w/ a 1 7/8 in wrench (and be sure to disconnect the fan wiring harness - I have heard of these things failing recently).
Another post on the shroud removal:
To remove the shroud without removing the fan (requires two small cuts):

Old old thread, but it worked for me.
