So I know this has been asked before but... I'd thought I'd kind of preempted it by epoxying the bolts in back to front when the rad was out but....

Fan started squealing so I went to remove it, obviously my epoxy has failed and the bolts just spin. I'm physically incapable of lifting the radiator to remove the shroud to get the fan out.

Any bright ideas to hold the bolt still and get the fan out?

Thanks for any help.

Another pair of hands? There are loads of great guys in West Yorkshire who are happy to help another owner (as long as they don't need their passport to leave God's Own County)
