Thanks Tom

Either the fan, or the radiator, has to come off. Frankly, I think the radiator is a lot easier to pull than working with those pesky fan bolts/nuts, assuming your hoses are in good condition and you've kept antisieze on the tranny cooler lines' threads -- I can pull the radiator out in just a few minutes (really, <5), without the skinned knuckles that working on the fan's fasteners causes.

Hate to tell you there isn't some clever way (I do not know it if there is), but I remove the fan.

I'm really surprised no one has piped up with a chainsaw approach. I've seen some in the boneyard with duct tape and chunks missing.

One thing that has made the fan removal job easy for me is use of the thin pattern stubby 10mm combination wrench you can buy in any Sears. Its box fits over the stud nicely.
