This was not designed to be disassembled...
Thanks. Yes, I kind of see from your one pics how the frame of the fan has a clip that snaps into place. This must be the "clip" that everyone is referring too.

What about the intake ducts. Do you remove the torx bolts from the front bar of the cross over to loosen/remove the dual intake duct. ?

Btw... I took a look how tight the access is to the pulleys... I don't think you can do this job without removing the fan. Small or big hands... there just doesn't look like there is enough room to maneuver with the radiator fan is place.
