A blade of my fan cracked off and I am trying to remove the fan but it is not working. Can I drive with one blade cracked?
It can you crazy glue it or something?
Or is there any way to get the fan off?

Hi 770,

It is possible to drive with a cracked blade but I would not recommend it. It will make noise, will eventually break and could damage the radiator or other parts, it can cause other parts to damage due to the vibration.

Here is the procedure for replacing the fan. Please let me know if you need anything else. Thanks
