Fixtures and fittings
Hi can someone please advise how to remove these as they attach the electric fan to the radiator and go through the mesh fully

Re: Fixtures and fittings
Have you tried to unscrew the fixing or maybe inserting a screwdriver into that slot to see if it releases the grip on the thread ?
I think you’ll have to carefully tinker with it, to find the answer. Or if the fan is dead you could saw through the bolts from the fan end perhaps.

Re: Fixtures and fittings
Thanks yes I tried unscrewing without success so may need more force as you say maybe cutting etc.

Re: Fixtures and fittings
They are cheap to replace so I would go ahead and cut them off, as you would a consumable like a cable tie.

Re: Fixtures and fittings
looks like it's got a central pin that locks the barbs try pulling it out or pushing it in.

Re: Fixtures and fittings
I'm with Monty, if you can't open up the plastic clip/ratchet, cut them off.
This might be a suitable replacement;-https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200834552821 ... %3A2047675
