A few more E30 questions

["Andrew Weesner" <acweesner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a few more questions regarding my 1987 325is.

This weekend I attempted to replace my auxilary fan.  The bolts that held 
the old fan in place to the airconcitioning condensor were frozen.  The 
tight quarters did not allow me to get any leverage on the bolts.  The 
bottom line is that I had to cut the old fan out with aircraft sheers.  
Unfortunately I still could not get the old bolts off of the condensor to 
attach the new fan.  I think I am going to have to take the a/c condensor 
out to get the bolts off.

The Bentley's manual does not describe the procedure for taking out the 
condensor.  Can anyone advise me on how to drain the air conditioning fluid 
and take out the condensor?

Second,  upon the advice of many of you I am replacing my front rotors which 
are probably warped (my wheel shakes when I hit the brakes).  During the 
process, should I take the opportunity to replace the brake fluid as well?

Third, in this month's version of Roundel magazine there is a picture of an 
E30 in the lower right hand corner of the page.  The car has two fog lights 
attached to a piece of aluminum which seems to be attached to the car's 
chassis.  What is that thing and what is its purpose?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Andrew
