Hello All,
I've removed this Hydraulic Cooling Fan enough times to write a step-by-step with clear and precise pictures.
I told myself, that the next time that I removeit for whatever reason, that I'm doing it regardless of how much longer it would takeme.
So, here ya go.
For anyone who needs it.
I hope it makes it to a sticky : )!!
This write-up includes two different methods. They are specified in the write itself.
Thanks.... ENJOY!!!

8. Locate the two metal shroud spacers and remove all 6 bolts with an 8mm socket
9. Be sure to place the bolts back in the holes to avoid losing them
10. Locate the AC Condenser(ACC) / Use a 12mm Socket to remove the nut securing the lines to the ACC
11. Place the nut back on the ACC
12. Locate the bracket securing the ACC and remove the bolt with an 8mm socket
13. Remove the bracket and ACC (set aside)
-- Coolant loss in the next few steps
14. Remove the connector on the Thermostat Housing (TH) by removing it from the metal tab
15. Remove the Auxilary Cooling Pump(ACP) hose connected to the TH. (Manuever backwards and up to the left)
16. Disconnect the electical connector on the top of the fan shroud
17. Disconnect the Radiator Cooling Outlet Tube Hose from the Radiator. (Manuever backwards and up to the left)
