R50/53 How to disassemble front end
How to disassemble front end
I found a very good post with nice pictures in this forum a couple of weeks ago with detailed information on how to disassemble the front end of a MCS.
I have been searching for it for the last two days without any luck
. Is somebody out there that point me in the right direction? As always, help is appreciated.

Perhaps you mean this set of photos?

I used these as reference when removing the front bumper cover, bumper, and radiator to replace my cooling fan this summer. The photos were helpful.

Yes, unfortunately the main cooling fan is pinned to the back of the radiator, and won't come out without removal of everything forward of it (the one exception is that the A/C condenser doesn't have to be disconnected, but does need to be loosened and moved a bit). It's all actually pretty simple and quick work, though it looks intimidating.
I must be getting old. Wonder why I couldn't find here. I have the latest issue of MC2 magazine and there is where I saw it. Thanks ITCH. I also need to replace the cooling fan since it is out of balance and when it starts I can fill my car shaking.
