The PAS should be nice and sharp - check the tyre pressures as a soft tyre can make it feel heavy and the belt tension too.
If you unbolt the fan from the housing, then unbolt the shroud and push it towards the engine you should be able to draw the fan out in the gap then remove the shroud.
Put plenty of Laird Scooby's magic potions (ATF and acetone) on the adjuster bolt threads as well.
I think the galvanised plate was factory-fitted; if there's one on the passenger side as well that would confirm my suspicions.

Aha, missed your post as I was busy writing mine, Loki! Thanks, reassured.
I'll do some magic potion searching... :-)
