What if said bolt doesn't seem to exist?
That, my friend, is your cue to take the radiator out. There are four 10mm bolts on the front side of the fan. Once the radiator is out, feel in the front around the centre of the fan and get a short ratchet and undo. I take it you have 6 cylinders attached to that fan? It's much easier to see and do with the 4 cylinder.

yes - the non-clutch fan is great reliability wise, and no 32mm but to deal with. You do have to take out the radiator though

Well that's funny, I wouldn't want a rad fan without a clutch on my 6 cil as it causes too much stress on the water pump when revving. At first I thought he might have the old style clutch with the 13mm bolt at the front, but it defo looks like no clutch at all.
