Again I am removing the cooling fan, (checking shims etc.) and that Top INSIDE bolt is a pain to RE-install.
The 1st time I FAULT with it, I desided to get out the dremel, (tin snips work also) and Notch that tap, so it is (has been) a SLIP IN PLACE Item.
Just loosen the 1 bolt, and slide it out, to RE-install do the same, then JUST TIGHTEN the bolt, NO fighting to get the bolt in that tight area.
Other 2 still full removal.

Mark,
That suggestion is worthy of adding to the FAQ.
Brilliant.
I think I would add a washer to the bolt as well after cutting the fan support away.

On a 2007, removing the radiator HOSE makes that bolt easy to reinsert,
but spills some juice.

I remove just enough to slip the bolt in.
Like an electrical terminal, some are solid full circle holes, some look like a u.
