Help! How to Replace Radiator Fan w208?

Howdy. I have a 1999 CLK320 and the coolant fan (radiator fan) was squeaky and loud for a long time and recently stopped working altogether. I have the replacement fan motor and blades. It looks like an easy job to remove the fan housing assembly (Shroud), swap out the motor/blade piece and reinsert. But I am sure there is more to it than it would appear. Has anyone done this job? Can you tell me what the steps are? Are there any hard to reach bolts holding the assembly in place? It looks like just a few plastic clips and no screws/bolts at all. but that cannot be the case. Any input would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

I did this last year. Took 10 minutes on 320. I wish they were all as easy.

Couldn't Have Been Easier

Did it myself. And I am mechanically challenged. Took no more than 15 minutes! Thanks!

Need also help

Hi to all,

Sorry to re-open this post, but I face the same problem.
Motor fan block to replace.
I saw that I have 1 electric connector, 2 clips, and that's all?

Thanks for your help.
