engine and drivetrain Engine Stripping

[Half Moon tii]

Finally got the engine out of the car and finished stripping it except for two items. Is there a trick to removing the radiator fan? Also, two of the intakes do not seem to want to come off, do I just pry? Thank you

Be careful with the plastic intakes, they can be brittle. Also fan should just be attached with 4 bolts- remove them and it should tap off easily.

If you have a heat gun, apply some heat all the troublesome items and see if that changes their attitude.

The fan bolts should have (2) locking metal pieces. Carefully bend the tabs flat to gain access to the bolt heads.

Crappy picture - but you get the idea.

Thank you for all the help, engine ready to go to the shop for rebuild.
