Can you replace the radiator fan without removing the wheel well liner?

Hi Wayne,
I just need to replace the fan.
Do I need to remove the radiator or can I just remove the fan directly just removing the inner fender liners?
Thanks

Good question, I honestly don't remember though. I know that you can get to the fans by removing the front bumper, I'm just not 100% sure that all of the brackets and plugs that attach to the fan can be accessed without taking off the wheel well liner. I think you can do it, but I'm not 100% sure. For this article, I took off the wheel well liner. I'll copy this topic to the forums, and perhaps someone there can refresh my memory.
