Default Fan Motor Replacement?

I asked the dealership to take a look at why my fans were not turning on and they claim that both fan motors are broke and need to be replaced however they want to charger $500+ to replace the Fan Motor assembly. I have somewhat advanced mechanical knowledge and believe that I could replace these parts myself and save myself a ton of money.

Does anybody have any experience replacing this assembly? If so was it difficult or an easy job overall?

easy repair... can be done with simple hand-tools... I'm sure there is a video or thread on here about it

Super easy....the shroud is held in by 5 bolts. Here is a link to the wiring install for a Mishimoto which you could get from one of the vendors on here for probably around $200.

I have a set of oem fans replaced under warranty you can have for shipping. You will need your connector ends and to splice them in as I cut them off for my replacements.

Super easy, I just replaced mine on my '04 Touring last week. I pulled mine out from beneath the car, I had to pull the lower radiator hose to remove it. I ordered a replacement assembly from Rock Auto for $133 shipped. It was plug-n-play, no splicing. The Stealership quoted me $800 to replaced mine. I missed the extended warranty by 4 months.
