Q: The electric fan on the a/c condenser is shot.
The ac condenser electric fan is shot on my durango. I have the replacement part, but I am having a heck of a time getting the condenser/fan assembly out. I removed the radiator/condenser hold down bracket, and the drivers side fender bolt holding the fan assembly in. There is nothing visibly holding it in place now and it moves a good bit, but I cant seem to get it to come out. Is there some trick to get it out? Do I have to unbolt the radiator and scoot it over a bit to get it to clear?
