Default Radiator fan removal without pulling radiator?

Is it possible to remove the radiator fan assembly without removing the radiator?

Almost a year ago I replaced the radiator. I think I pulled the radiator out with fans still attached. Now the fan(s) are bad. It appears one of the fans came off the motor, or maybe the bearing went out. The other seems loose. I'd like to avoid removing the radiator if possible. That one detached fan vibrates the entire car something fierce.

Yes, technically it's doable. Two bolt plus a catch top side, two plastic catches bottom side.

There should be enough space to take the fans out without removing the radiator if you remove the intake.
