My first time removing the impeller shroud...
on p 21 step 12 of Haynes, it says to remove the 3 hex bolts and 7 cheesehead screws, and the front half of the impeller housing should come off. Mine is hung up on the driver's side by the alternator. So then it says "if it can't be readily removed", to remove the impeller and pulley. Ok, I got the 3 bolts out of the impeller (these were hex bolts for me, not "multi tooth socket head screws"). Do I now just pull the impeller and pulley off together? Does anything else have to be removed? Seems like I would have to undo the large (24mm?) bolt on the alternator to get that pulley off... Any other tips for this? Thanks Rich |

Don't bother pulling it in half. I don't know why the Haynes talks about that. Three bolts for the fan, four nuts for the impeller housing (the ones behind the fan) and the whole thing drops off.

My engine is out of the car. Should have mentioned that...
Mark, I was pulling the front half off because I thought I needed to do that to install the magnetic pickup for the sensor wheel -- I thought it went in between the 2 case halves. I'll bolt the case halves back together, pull the fan off, remove the bolts behind the fan. I'm assuming I have to unbolt/remove some of the thermostat stuff on top of the engine to get the whole case off. I'll check that out tonight. I'm also changing my motor mounts (why not?) so removing the case should make that a whole lot easier also. Thanks all, will let you know how I make out Rich |
