Hi--
I searched around to see if I could find any info on this and cannot---perhaps because maybe its not even called a fan housing? At any rate I have purchased a straight low rust 1971 914 with a spare 2.0 and I intend to have a wack at rebuilding the engine myself. I have all the fi off, engine tin, the alternator, distributer etc BUT I cant seem to get the cover or case for the fan (fan housing?) off. Ive taken off all the slot screws that I can find, and the alternator and I can lightly pull it apart in areas but its still attached. I ordered the rebuild book but its not here yet----and trick to removing the flippin fan housing? thanks!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE(adiokyro @ Jan 27 2013, 06:24 PM)  Ive taken off all the slot screws that I can find, and the alternator and I can lightly pull it apart in areas but its still attached. There are two dowels between the two halves keeping them together. The dowels run horizontally through the center of the fan (if that makes sense). Just work your way around the perimeter with a screw driver. Give'r a few taps with the rubber mallet too. I just did this a couple days ago. Pete |
