95 325iS Radiator removal quick question. HELP pls.

[AJM0617]

Hey guys, I need to replace the radiator on my wife's 1995 325is as soon as possible. Do I NEED to remove the radiator fan off to get the radiator out? I just need to replace the radiator for now and maybe the hoses. Can I remove the radiator without taking the fan off? i don't have a 32mm wrench and I don't have a special radiator fan removal tool..

please let me know as soon as you can.

Thank you in advance

Yes, you can do it without removing the fan.

You can use a large set of channel lock plier instead of a 32mm spanner wrench. Its easier when you remove the fan as it gives tou more room to work.

+1 removing the fan will make this job quite a bit easier.
