Hardest part is removing and refitting the drive belts and hub. I never seem to develop anough slack at the alternator adjustment to easily remove the belts.
Everything else is pretty straight forward.

10mm box wrench is used to remove the fan/hub assembly. You'll need to me a bit handy there because it is a close fit to get your hand in between the nust and the fan shroud. If you happen to have one of those rachet type box wrenches, this is about the only place on the car I found that would come in handy (which is why I have not yet bought a set of those)

I use a piece of cardboard to cover the backside of the radiator so as not to damage it.

PS Come to think of it, I believe you don't need to remove or even slacken those drive belts nor the hub. I must have been thinking that because removing those 10mm nuts the hub comes off (it can, but it doesn't have to). The fan nounts on the front of the hub, so, it'll pull off without dislodging the hub anyway.
