No need to remove the radiator, just be careful. You will probably need a modified 10mm box wrench (see attachment) to remove the fan. The most difficult part of this procedure for me was getting the shroud and fan out. Removing the radiator may help there, your call.

You may want to replace the spacer ring also. If it has been worn, a new seal will leak.

MB makes a special tool for the spacer ring removal, but folks have been successful merely prying it off.

Good luck and keep us posted.
