how to remove the fan blades - AUSJEEPOFFROAD.COM Jeep News Australia and New Zealand

I removed my hydraulic fan from my V8. As far as I can tell only the shroud ids different to the CRD so would like to keep it as spare parts just in case.
Did anyone ever remove the fan blades (basically the wheel which holds the blades) from the pump and ultimately from the shroud? I tried a couple of different things but nothing really works.

As far as I can see there is a threaded pipe in the middle where I might be able to screw in something and then pull it or push it out that way but not sure about it. I tried different screws i have lying around but none really fit. I tried different puller but none really does anything.

I guess I can answer my own question. I saw that the pump and the fan are connected to the shroud thru screws and I should be able to remove both in one piece leaving the shroud which does not fit behind....

How did you go with the carpet?

Here you go:

There was a longer video showing complete disassembly but I can't find it. I know I saved somewhere, will need some digging in my archives.

Thanks a lot Adrian. I was looking online but i guess it depends on how you define your search terms, but this is great.

Thanks for asking. It is getting much better. Where the actual outfall was the carpet stink has disappeared. I used vinegar, bicarb and a bit of charcoal and I got something from Supercheap where you can remove the stink of dog pee and poop which also did a good spot.

I still have a slight stink and it is coming from a spot which is a bit away from the main spot. I guess I must have dropped some of the fluid when I removed the tray with the chicken. I am treating it right now and will check if I have some similar spots which I have not yet found, now that the carpet gets better. And I realized that the seats stink as well so I will wipe all surfaces down with wet tissues a couple of times.
