Is this a pretty simple task, seeing how this is the second thread I posted on this? The first one never produced any replies. Just wandering.

I believe you need a special tool to remove the fan. You can get it from a parts store for rent. Other than that I don't think it is a major deal. While you are in there I would replace the thermostat and you may need a t-stat housing as well. They tend to deterioriate.

there is a fan wrench you can rent from the auto parts store. And I use the belt as a "strap wrench" when taking the fan off and busting the pully bolts loose.
