no there were 4 bots for the fan. it went well until.. the water pump had been leaking for a while so there was alot of rust. the bolts for the pump were siezed or rusted solid into the motor. after much labor, we were down to one last stubborn one and had to leave it in its final resting place. but the new pump is on and we are good for now. thank you for your response.
