What is the easy way to replace the fan housing? I would rather not pull the motor out unless I really have to.
Thanks

if you pull your motor you might as well repaint the tin. if you do that you might as well replace alll the gaskets. if you do that you might as well give it a ring job. if you do that you might as well rebuild the engine. it will save alot of time and mabey money and posibly an engine. you know how right?

I have found a way to remove the fan housing on mine without pulling the engine and have done so 2 or 3 times. If you take the hood off and take the front 2 bolts out of the hood hinges on each side and loosen the back bolt and then turn the hinges towards the outside of the car that gives you just enough clearence to raise the fan housing up high enough that you can slip it off the oil cooler while pulling it towards the rear of the car to get it out of the engine compartment. Of course the thermostat, throttle cable, carb, wiring, etc. have already been taken off before you start.
