Pretty straight forward really. Getting it out is as simple as 4 bolts on the shroud and 2 bolts on the top supports.

Depends if you are pulling the fan off too, that is more of the battle than anything. Breaking the nut loose is royal pain, its a RH thread so you go clockwise facing the engine to loosen it.
