Hmm - only thing I have to do on my old Gen I to remove/install the fan
shroud, is to unbolt the clutch/fan blade assembly from the water pump.
4 bolts - nothing to it. Obviously not the same on a Gen III...
I suppose you could cut the corner and try to work it around and back
into place. However if you do it that way - be sure to warm the shroud,
leave it in the sun for a while maybe... make it more flexable.
In theory you probably could cut it in half with a dremel and then bolt
the two halves back in place.using epoxy might not be necessary. The
bolts themselves should hold the shroud in place. But then again -
epoxy can't hurt. The slower setting ones are stronger. Only drawback
from that method I can see - is that it might not look as nice. Thats
about all I can tell ya Andy - good luck!
