480 SE Radiator Fan Motor

[flyerphil]

Hi everyone
just removed 480 es u/s rad fan motor to gain access to the inside. Have removed the circlip at the rear of fan but seems to be holding against the centre bolt or screw?. I need to remove the fan somehow. but blades are really fragile !
Any ideas, I guess some of you might have come across this. Any help appreciated

Thanks for your help, but ideally would like to remove the motor to assess damage to the inside.problem is how to take the blades off and gain access to the motor. It must be possible surely as Volvo sell the motor only replacementn not that i'd buy it at a ridiculous £185.00.....unbeleivable !!
