Its held on by 60 ft lbs and not too hard to remove.

I would ONLY recommend this method to those DIYers who are GOOD with hand tools! Several failed attempts of this method will deform the bolt heads and therefore render the special tool for fan removal USELESS in its designed task. Proceed with extreme caution DIYers! The only thing worse than not having the right tool for the job is damaging the fastener to the point where the right tool will not work!
