    Yeah you will need to be able to spin the water pump to unbolt the fan.

    While you can, you don't actually have to spin the water pump.
    You do need to loosen the belt to take tension off the pulley or it will kick sideways after the bolts are removed.
    This would make it very hard to replace the bolts.

    Not really following you Inuendo? But the crux of it is, you need to loosen the belt. I only put the rad back in my ute the other day, and you can’t get to all four bolts that hold the fan onto the water pump with out turning it (that’s the vicious fan).
    Do you mean the pulley will pop off with the bolts out and the belt tensioned? Yes that would be a bit of a risk to the fingers when the tension was released.

    You may need to with a vicious/clutch fan. But I don't think Kiwivan is using a vicious/clutch fan. Just adding a cowl to his existing 4 blade.
    The fact a spacer was mentioned points that way. I could be wrong though.

    Correct
    Loosen belts for the fan and remove pully and extension housing.
    Just a straight fan no clutch
