Fan removal help

[deadly97snake]

So I just took out the whole fan assembly from my car. It was a 5 minute (and one scraped knuckle) thing. I can't separate he fan blades or the motor from the fan shroud. I took off the 3 bolts from the motor and the metel clip on the back of the fan shroud. The stud on the back of the fan shroud (where the metal clip was) is rusted. Any help will be appreciated

I really can't see. It is stuck together on he inside of the fan motor. I have even tried using a screwdriver in between but that didn't work.

Is just pulling it apart the only way?

I had to change my fan motor before so I've done this. You have to use a saw or dremel tool and cut off the stud. That's the only way it will come off.

does the new motor come with a new stud?

Yeah it does. And when you put the fan back onto the new motor, it should slide right over the stud and lock into place. It's very easy to do.
