I replaced the radiator on my 1997 4 door without removing the fan or fan clutch.

Just remove the fan shroud to uncover the bolts. With the right tools it is very easy! I guess if you want to overkill in space remove the clutch fan but not necessary and not worth the cursing and effort to break it free.

Okay guys, now here is the million $ ?, can you replace the lower radiator hose with out removing clutch? Since I'm changing the 12 year old radiator might as well do both hoses, and should I change out clamps?
New radiator came yesterday like promised and doing job first thing after church.
