I searched and followed the directions on the how-to's and most people say just disconnect the upper and lower radiator hose, electrical plug for the fan, and pull it right out (obviously drain it, and upper mounts, and reservoir hose).


Mine's getting stuck on the UICP and will not budge or move out of the way to get enough clearance. I took the black hose off the metal pipes at the bend to make more clearance but it's still getting caught on the lower metal IC pipe.

Do I need to remove the entire UICP, or am I missing something? I'm hoping I don't because the bolt that's in the bracket that holds the UICP is not wanting to budge. The intake doesn't seem to be causing any problems either.

Did you take the fan off?

 

I did not, none of the "how to's" that I found with a search didn't say to. Is it pretty obvious on how to get it off? How many bolts? And thank you for the reply!

 

Took the fan off and got it out with a little wiggling, thanks!!

 

Nice!!!
