Mercedes Benz repair: Mercedes 190e 2.6, mercedes 190e, tow hook


Question
How do you remove the auxilliary fans on the Mercedes 190e 2.6. I have one that is not working. They seem to be connected together.If they could be seperated they might come right out.  There is a vertical cross member in the middle that looks solid on the top as it curves back under the metal over the radiator. At the bottom there is a bolt but the bumper is in the way. This cross member appears to be a solid round length of bar that flattens out at the bottom where the bolt is. Thank you

Answer
you are right they are connected as far as taking off the fan I think it may be connected to the radiator..let me check on my 190 though I have a 2.3 there is a tow hook cover that yopu can take off to get to the bottom bolt with a wrench looks to be a 12mm I would probably pb blast it then wait a little mine pretty rusty. also note the 2.3 has only one fan
