You can "rent" a tool that will make getting the fan off a little easier but it is not needed a strap wrench and larges channel locks.

Like Alan said!!!! I did mine in my 99 and it took an hour and a half, make sure you have all gaskets before install and it will go quick. If I remember right the fan is reversed threads. Hopefully someone will chime in with a good memory. Good Luck

One thing to note: It is not reverse thread, at least mine wasn't-just keep that in mind, and good luck

Thanx for the link it will come in handy as I have to replace mine as well. Where did you get your replacement pump from? One better than the other or OEM just fine?
