This truck has A/C. Does the fan need to be removed in order to complete the process?

Good afternoon,

I attached the diagram for installing the belt. The answer to your question is no, you do not have to remove the fan for the belt replacement. Check out the diagrams (Below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
