Hi all, was trying to remove my fan (cooling fan),have the motor out of my 1.8 74 914 and it's on a engine stand. Everything I read says just remove the three bolts from the the center and pull the fan out. Mine won't budge!!! Any help would be very appreciated thanks in advance.

Its on a little bit of a spigot and there's a dowel to locate it.
Like an aluminum wheel stuck on the hubcentric. Try a soft mallet around the edge to knock it loose. |

The fan is separate from the hub, and once the three bolts that hold the fan onto the hub are out, you should be able to wiggle the fan until it comes off. --DD |

I can only assume the PO or whoever rebuilt the motor didn't have all the rift parts/knowledge. It also had a black plastic snap cap/insert into the bolt so I couldn't tell... it was an Allen key bolt. That was a core 1.8 motor I bought for $125 on CL.... |
