To all that read, whenever you hear the fan squeeling it's best to lube it ASAP with that grease that comes in a spray can. Can't remember the name of it now. It may extend the life of your fan. Mine still works after 10 months. Lube the bearings real good.

To replace the fan, (on my '87 740 GLE) I had to remove the panel under the dash on the passenger side. Then the fan would come out with the basket. Pretty easy job after you get your hands on a fan.

Hope this helps.
