With the help of the engine removal thread (thanks for all the useful text and photos),
I dropped my 2.0 on Sunday, the DAPO painted the alloy fan should black. Now the DACO, me, is trying to remove the shroud so I can have it media blasted back to natural. The front half seems to be hung up in the alternator area but I can't find any more screws or bolts to remove. The inner is still solid to the engine. I need to get these off. Photo is not of my engine but the alloy shroud is what I'm trying to remove. Any suggestions? |

Thank you.
Yes I removed the alternator leads. I do have a Haynes manual. This is uncharteted territory for me and frankly I get a little cautious on some of this stuff. Probably more than I should. Seeing the engine disembodied from the car for the first time, in my own garage is intimidating. I'm taking notes and pictures as I go. This project is simply to refresh the tins, engine bay, fuel lines, brake lines, suspension and brakes. Thanks again for the help. |

That's the rubber part that can be seen in 911Buff's picture above (it's around the 3 o'clock position). It funnels cooling air over the alternator. You may just need to gently press it through the opening if that's what is causing the shroud to hang. |
