Somehow, the driver side cabin heater hose came loose and found it's way to my fan. The wire from the hose is wrapped around the fan and or shaft. I got as much out as I could. Here's the question, short of dropping the engine, is there a way to get in there and unravel the hose wire? This sucks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

The only thing back there besides the fan blades is the belt for the alternator. Could you reach in with wire snips and cut anything that seemed like the wire? It will take some good snips, b/c that wire is te-ough. Is it catching or grinding or otherwise causing problems? You might be able to leave it....

Based on how hot the oil was when I got home, I was thinking that the fan was locked up, but there wasn't any belt screeching. I'll give it a try. Thanks, Dane |
