As far as I know, you have to remove the radiator to remove the fan and you
have to remove the front apron to remove the radiator (and the shin bone's
connected to the ankle bone). "As long as you're in there" :^), you might
consider checking the timing chain and tensioner (BTDT) - and don't forget
to order the gasket (BTDT too).
