Fan Replacement

[StuartA]

Hi, I know this is probably a fairly straightforward thing, but I need to replace the fan on my Mk1 Mini, do I need to take out the radiator to do this? Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

No just the top fan cowel , it's a tight squeeze but I managed it

Agree with Nick; however, if the metal fan was installed backwards before the engine was reinstalled and/or the fan (metal or plastic) has had spacers and longer bolts to hold it in place (again, before the engine was reinstalled), you're in for a struggle.

If you find it too tight to get yr hands in there, let the engine mount off and Jack the engine up on that side, that'll give you another inch or so.
