I replaced mine in like 4 hours, and I was screwing off most of the
time.
There will be one or two times it will be a little uncomfortable if
you are just using jack stands and such when you go to disconnect the
top bolts when removing the fans.
Make sure you jack the front pretty high before you start it, you
have to be able to slide the radiator down and out with the condenser
on it.
Might as well order the bleeder kit and a new otterstat from Hervey
now too, if you don't already have them, they will make life alot
easier.
