Fluiddampr: what's involved

[HelluvaEngineer]

I've sorted out a lot of things on my M1009 over the past couple of years. I would like to put a fluiddampr on it sometime this fall. I have done dampers before, but with the engines out of the bay. I'll be doing this one in my driveway, unfortunately. What needs to be removed to do this job other than the belts? Is it possible to pull the old damper without pulling the radiator?

As always, thanks for your replies!

Yes you can do it by just taking the fan shroud out. Makes it easier if you pop the fan off too. When you get the damper make sure you get the spacer with it. Get an installer tool as well. Makes it very easy to get it all done. Front seal replacement time as well.

This is something I will be doing in about a month when I get home from my current trip. I figured I would have to remove the fan and shroud. Do I need to drain and remove the radiator hoses to get the shroud out? What about the oil cooler lines, do they need to come out? Anything else I have not thought about? Thanks for the advise.
