Hi dach2001,

Replacing the clutch fan is not a very difficult job.

Loosen the 4 nuts holding the clutch fan.
Loosen alternator drive belt.
Remove the clutch fan holding nuts and fan can be removed.

If radiator fan shroud is hampering work, remove it by unclipping the lower shroud and removing the holding bolts for the main shroud. Upper radiator hose has to be removed.
