I'm going to be replacing this as soon as the tropical storm passes and takes the ping pong size raindrops and the 30 knot winds outta here. This is the first time I'll be doing this.. Anyone have any tips or shortcuts they might have come across before I get knee deep in this, or is it pretty self explanitory? Anything I need to look out for? Thanks in advance..

It is straight forward,once you have the belt loose,just take your time,the fan shrouds are easy to break.

The hard part is getting said bolts back IN and holding the fan steady while you tighten them. It can be done with the rad in, but it's WAY easier if you pull the radiator. More work, but much easier overall

wait until your shroud arrives,it is hard to get it in between the fan and radiator. You might end up breaking it again.

It's the reason I'm overheating though... I might just take it easy around town and no trails till it gets here. Well see...
