1996 E300D auxiliary fan assembly

I had a pre-purchase inspection done by an indy MB mechanic on a '96 E300D I'm considering. Among other things, he reports the auxiliary fan is locked up. He quotes $400 for a new part, 2 hrs labor.

His reputation is sterling, but this seems pricey. I'll take his word that I need a new one - fastline has assembly for $303. How hard is removal/replacement of this assembly? Can someone like me with moderate skills do this?

Otherwise, he reports the car is in very good condition, though there are some less important things that will need to be done over time, but I do need to get the A/C going - it's getting hot here in Houston. By the way, the mechanic was Markus @ K&H ******** near downtown Houston.

Thanks,
