W123 M102 Fan removal

[mejermy]

Anyone know how to remove the fan from a M102 W123 230E UK spec? Needed to access the water pump which is leaking badly from the bottom of the casing.

The dimples are just that - moulded depressions in the fan. The rusty looking studs are circular - not allen screw - with nothing at the bottom, just a flat metal end.

Any advice gratefully received

Unfasten the bolt in the centre. Then you can wiggle the fan off.

Thanks for your reply. Yes - I am having a poor day today I think. After a cup of tea, and a suggestion from a Netherlands W123 guy I got there. Thanks for your help.
