Engine Fan

Steve, not need to cut the cowling to remove the fan which you probably already know but not the OP. Did a replacement fan job yesterday so it's fresh in my memory. With the waist 8mm bolts removed and the clips under the cowling, there's enough play to slip the cowling off the top pins and pivot the righthand (facing it) side of the cowling outwards. You can then access the three usually stubborn torx screws. Done about eight in this fashion, only cut the cowling the first time.

Only 2.5 hours, I thought our time yesterday (me & the owner) of just over 3 hours qualified for Mr. Guiness' book and that was with no snags.

Regard,

Mike
