My 2000 model stated running hot. I looked at the radiator and noticed the low temp fan had come detached from the motor shaft. I need to separate the fan assembly from the radiator but don't see how to do that. does any one have a procedure to separate the two?

 

it comes out the bottom, if that helps

 

Just a little more info from the Service Manual.
