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 |

Rich and I chatted on the phone, but for people who are searching in the future, there is a screw hidden behind the alternator tin. You have to remove the lower alternator bolt to free up the tin to access the screw behind.
Rich is installing this setup. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-419-1244942673.jpg) |

I got my fan case halves back together. I loosened the hex bolt holding in the alternator, loosened the nut behind the carriage bolt, slid the alternator ccw in it's track and removed the vee belt.
Three bolts and a rap with a rubber mallet and the impeller came right off. It's missing one blade, not too bad... I disconnected the thermostat cable and a 13mm nut on the passenger side holding the oil temp wire. Four nuts behind the impeller and the case slid right off! Make sure you disconnect the branch heater tin and you have enough slack in the alternator wiring harness to slide it to the ground (or remove altogether). Btw, super easy access to the motor mounts once the fan housing is removed. I'm replacing mine while I am in there. Thanks for the help mark! Am taking pics and will post in a separate thread. The fun continues! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) |
