Cooling Fan Assembly Upper Bolt
well i was taking the upper bolt that holds the cooling fan assembly to the radiator and a plastic clip must have snapped because the bolt turns freely, now i want to know if i just pooched my rad because of that or is it just a piece of plastic that broke off
would i be able to just take a dremel and cut the little piece off and be good to go? has anybody else experienced this? |

Re: Cooling Fan Assembly Upper Bolt
I thought the bolt goes into a speednut that is on the radiator support. Should not have affected the radiator, but to fix it you need to remove the fans and the radiator retainers and put in a new speed nut.

Re: Cooling Fan Assembly Upper Bolt
I have found this job to be easiest by removing the battery, battery tray and thermostat housing. If you do, don't forget to bleed the cooling system. If you do it by removing the compressor, don't mix and match the compressor and alternator mounting bolts or you will crack the head and cause a coolant leak. Don't ask me how I know.
