auto or manual tranny? Why do you needf to change out the fan? This fan is usually only used when the A/C is on.

I believe you will need to remove the three front grille pieces and the hood. Then you simply unbolt it from the front of the condenser.
Are the fan bearings shot? |

Before you remove it, you might want to try spraying some WD-40 in there and apply 12V to the fan. See if that gets it spinning.
