Did mine today. Had to disconnect the charge pipe at both ends and turn it out of the way in order to get the fan out. May have been able to force it, but just better to disconnect it. The clip that holds it to the rubber part on the fan housing just pops off easily if pried with a big screwdriver, so nothing to sweat there. Also, there wasn't 2 torx screws holding the fan in place...just the one shown at the top passenger side. Otherwise, was a pretty straightforward job. Was purely preventative maintenance - I had no noise or other signs of pending failure and the belt I removed appeared to be in great shape (~70K miles)
