Radiator replacement: 1983 300D

Hey, folks. How hard is this job? My radiator has developed a serious leak.

From the Haynes manual, it really doesn't seem all that difficult. (Detach top and bottom hoses, detach fan shroud, remove retaining clips from top, etc.) But I wondered if any of the steps were tricky one a feller got himself in there.

Thanks!
Glenn
