Q: Having trouble getting the condenser fan out to replace it.

asked by on April 04, 2017

I'm removing the condenser fan to replace it and I have gotten everything disconnected but cannot get it out. There's no room. Do I need to remove the cross bar that the hood latch mounts to? That's the only way I can see to get it out. Please help. Thank you.

My car has 92000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
