I just went out to take some measurement and to see if i could make the gel mounts work. I noticed the driver side mount has bolts from the top, but the passenger side are from bottom and it looks extremely difficult to get them out. I suppose a swivel and an extension they might come out. Any tips.

BTW getting the fan off without the special tool is no problem. I put my pipe wrench on the rim of the fan pulley and had to use a clamp to turn the fan as my 12" adjustable would not fit. Further i only had one pipe wrench or i could have done it with that.
