Question
How do you remove the radiator fan cover on a 97 Marquis?  I removed the screws but when trying to pull it out it gets stuck on the fan attached to the engine.  Thanks.

Answer
On some cars,the fan/shroud has to be removed at the same time.I know it is a real pain,so its easier to remove the fan on your car  Its the large nut right in the center of the fan.More bad news,it requires a special tool to remove it.If i remember right,its about a 30mm,wrench,in AF 1 .1/4inch that is, as american cars dont use metric.The problem is holding the fan while turning the nut and some are opposite thread so it should say on the shroud.
