that's exactly what it was. had to tear out the fan, belts, covers, etc. etc. to get enough clearance for the new bolt. We removed the plastic cover protecting the underside of the engine and out came the top of the bolt. We're thinkin' whoever touched his car last, must have over-tightened it.

Glad to know there's someone local who has dealt with this and was successful.

This DYI video is not for N62 engine. It was supposed for M54 engine. However, when I did my M54 engine belts (serp. and AC), information from video was not 100% matched to what I saw during the replacement. You need to remove the fan assembly in one piece instead of the fan blade itself.
