From under the car the dam thing is right there in your face, so easy to access you may doze off.

Just be Extreeeeeeeemly careful while under car while on jacks, double support the car with blocks, chalk tires, everything.

It's just a PItheASS to reinstall the plastic splash guard with all the plastic one time use screws, I replaced my plasic screws with torque screws and takes 10 minutes to replace the splash guard now instead of 1 hour.

If had to access from the top I would have cuts all over your hands from the fan shell, my back will give out in 10 minutes, and my radiator would be dented to hell

 

I do it from above by removing the fan and it is extremely easy. I don't need to jack the car up, nor remove the plastic guard, and I don't cut my hand nor dent the radiator. It is tought to get out the fan until you learn to bend the fan bracket. Once you do that, it comes out easily.

 

im trying to remove the radiattor fan...how do i do it..it feels like it's getting stuck on something. any suggestions?

 

you don't need to remove the radiator fan at all. it took me 20 minutes the first time i did my Dejontool mbc. now i can do it in 15 minutes. all you needed to to remove the airbox and pipe form the turbo. if you want to make it easy take the UIC off too.
