Just a slight revision to the above, even though Arctic is vastly experienced. I suggest you don't cut the cowling or attempt to remove it, instead when everything is unbolted / free, raise and pivot the right hand side (as you face it) outwards. There's enough room to get your hand in between and undo the three torx bolts holding the fan motor. Done about 10 fan jobs this way and will be helping another owner next week.

Try and time the job so that you can drench the torx bolts, and ideally the two cowling waist bolts while you have lunch, they can be quite stubborn.

Good luck

ps. When he says takes about an hour, that means 2 and a half hours for us mortals
