Radiator fan(s) removal

Just a quick one -

Has anyone done a writeup on removing the radiator fans...

As you can see in the 3 pictures, my top mounting points have split (I don't know if it has just occured) - I suspect that the lower ones are also in the same state.

But I want to know if they can be removed without taking out the radiator?

I am wanting to get them plastic welded (anyone else done that?).

TIA.

Re: Radiator fan(s) removal

Yes, they can be removed without removing the radiator. Remove the plastic skid guard underneath and Jack up the front so you have enough clearance. The driver side will fan will be the most pain because of the water pump hose, but maneuver it over to the passenger side and remove same as the passenger side fan.
