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) |

Remove the fan bolts and as was suggested, try lightly tapping with a rubber mallet on opposing sides to break it free.
Prying could potentially damage the fins. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
