I am trying to remove radiator fan and I am having quite a bit of difficulties removing it.
Basically I am following this service manual
https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...ement/IJDZ6vvr
The transmission cooler is attached to the fan cowl and it is blocking the way of the radiator fan.
The manual says to remove it in upward direction and I tried but the radiator hose is blocking the way. Any other direction it won't move.
I even tried to disconnect the radiator hose, but it won't budge (I unclipped, wiggled it, pried but none worked)
Does anyone know how to successfully remove this radiator fan???
Any advice would be appreciated

Did you get this figured out? Also trying to remove the radiator fan in order to crank the motor by hand. I also tried to follow the newtis guide, but it's far from accurate. Do I need to unscrew or unclip something from the underneath the car?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
