WOW a true DIY newbie! New tool box and a friend's garage!

This will be a true test for you and will defiantly provide some confidence to other potential ESS customers that might want to self install the kit.

Step 36/152. Pulling the fan out and back in is a little tricky. I placed a very thin piece of sheet metal between the fan motor and the radiator hose to help the assemble slide out/in. The radiator hose wants to grab the fan motor as it comes by.

Step 79. I had to modify the aluminum quick connector to fit my OEM connector (I have a 2009 model).

Step 103. Only shows the A/C belt routing for cars produced before 06/08 (single sided belt). Roman might have updated the instructions by now include the belt routing for cars produced after 06/08 with the dual sided belt.

Step 146. Installing the air filter/hose assembly is a little tricky and it's a real tight fit.

Good luck!
