Regarding Mike's response to my question below, I now know my fans are
turning the right direction, CCW, but the blades are installed backwards
(79B) . So how are the fan blades attached and are they easily reversed
(evidently, yes)? I'd like to know what I need to do BEFORE I remove the
grill, etc. and this is not covered in my manuals. I'm sure this is not the
only cause of my slight overheating problem since I've had the car a year
and a half, but its only been overheating for a few months.
Thanks,
