Default Cooling Fans

I got stuck while working on my opti for quite a while trying to remove the cooling fans. In all other cars I've had to remove the fans on after disconnecting them there is no problem just lifting the shroud with the fans in out.

I had to remove the fans from the shroud and remove them and then finally rip twist the shroud out of the car. I haven't put them back in yet but I didn't know if this was normal or if since my car had been wrecked although I can't see any major structural damage that there might be something keeping everything from coming out right.

Why remove everything if you're working on the opti? I can do it by just removing one fan.

I've also never had a problem removing the entire assembly.
