Help removing cooling fans ?!?!?
Hey....
I have the radiator out and the shroud off as well. This may be a completely stupid question, but I spent the last 30 min. searching with no answers.....
Is there a trick to getting the fans off??? I removed the retaining bolts, but cannot seem to pull the fans off of the motor shaft.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

When I had mine out a couple of weeks ago, I tried really hard to get the fan off with no success. I planned on just swapping in a fan, but ended up using the whole fan assembly that I bought. So no, I have no idea how to get them off.

When I rebuilt my engine, I painted my fans and the shroud and the motor casings to make everything look new. I had no trouble getting the fans off the motor shafts.
Try a little PB Blaster and then lightly grip the shaft with some Vise-Grips whilst rocking/wiggling the fans. There might just be a bit of corrosion that made them "grow together".

It almost looks like they might need a "puller" or something, but as long as you had some success I'm sure I'll get it eventually.
