Removing aux fan

[slippery]

The bearing on the AC fan is making a lot of noise and I got a replacement. How do you remove this thing? I thought I might be able to squeeze it out through the grill opening but its too tight. From below it looks impossible as the oil cooler is underneath.
Do I really need to remove the bumper , spoiler and front valance to get this guy out? Any suggestions before I start tearing it all apart are welcome.

Looks like I might need to remove the engine fan and radiator, this is going to be fun.

You can pull the aux fan (or condenser) out the bottom after dismounting the oil cooler. I've never had to remove the front valence, but that would be easier than pulling the radiator.

Thanks for the input. I will try next weekend by removing the oil cooler. Lets see how much of a mess I make.
