Removing fan and shroud--2005 S55 AMG
Hi my AC Compressor Pulley broke and I'd like to replace just the pulley with compressor unit in place in engine before going through the pain of replacing the compressor.
There's very little room in there as you know. How difficult is it to remove the fan and shroud to gain more space? Anyone know of a DIY describing how to remove the fan and shroud?
Thanks!

According to the WIS:
1 Drain coolant from radiator
2 Remove left air intake pipe to air filter
3 Unscrew bolts from retaining tabs (3) on fan shroud (1)
4 Disconnect electric plug connections for suction fan
5 Detach expansion reservoir coolant line on coolant line thermostat housing to engine radiator
6 Detach coolant line (2) at bottom right on engine radiator
7.1 Remove plate attaching ATF line (At bottom of fan shroud)
8 Remove fan shroud (1) i Pull fan shroud with retaining tabs (4) out of retaining lugs on radiator.
9 Install in the reverse order
10 Check coolant level and cooling system for leaks
