I've been working on this for a couple days now. The problem is I cannot get the AC condenser fan out. The current one is broke so in stop and go traffic the AC is not cold. I tested the new fan and it works, but I can't get to enjoy it yet!

There are some contact points but overall it's seeming like a mission impossible!

Here are a few photos but I'm not sure if it helps...

After trying to pull it up, I put the car on rhino ramps but it does not seem possible to drop it down.

I'm a car newbie though so anything helps.

Thank you.

Front end damage. Sucks.

Get the fan off first

The issue OP has is that the lower part of the radiator support is pushed back, enough to have the fan hit the compressor. This might require you to remove the headers to get to it, you can push the left side of the fan out and slide it toward the transmission.

Remember that if yo remove your front bumper you'll have access from th front as well to possibly section it up with a sawzal with distance from fan
