Hi all
Just did this today, so wrote up a quick guide. I had to re-attache the poly belt behind the two front fans, so took some pictures whilst I did it. All the pictures are clickable for bigger more detailed versions.

and the content:
I recently picked up a 2002 E55 AMG that has a bit of accident damage. The bonnet was dented, the fan housing was cracked and the fan grill was broken. Additionally, the poly v belt that runs between the individual fan blades had disconnected.
The Mercedes WIS guide for this has some pretty poor pictures so I thought I would do my own guide:
[highlight]Step 1[/highlight] - Remove the grill by twisting the square bolts at the top and lifting straight out
[highlight]Step 2[/highlight]*- Remove the 2 bolts on either side of the slam panel:
[highlight]Step 3[/highlight]*- Remove the cover on the right hand side of the fan, and unplug the connector
[highlight]Step 4[/highlight] - Remove the Clips on the top of the radiator that clip the radiator to the slam panel:
[highlight]Step 5 -*[/highlight]Remove the bolt hold the bottom bracket of the slam panel onto the horn mounting bracket:
[highlight]Step 6 -*[/highlight]Undo the 2 bolts at the top of the fan housing that holds the fan housing to the radiator:
[highlight]Step 7[/highlight] - Remove the 2 bolts on either side, that hold the power steering cooling pipes in front of the fans (I forgot to take pictures of this bit)
[highlight]Step 8[/highlight] - Push the radiator forward and the power steering pipes back, and lift the fan unit up and out:
I took this oppertunity to replace the clean the radiator of crap that had accumilated, and to get rid of leaves etc.
All back together, and with a new front grill that isnt broken, happy days
