Thank you for the DIY. I couldn't find a good one for the N55 but fortunately the engines are very similar in the front. Did this yesterday at 84k. The bulk of the work is getting the radiator fan out - even after you release the grommet/clip on the drivers side it feels like it is still connected.

Definitely replace the plastic drinking straw portion of the coolant vent hose when you're doing this. It's simple - 1/4" fuel line - 1 foot long, two hose clamps, two 1/4" barbed fittings for both ends of the hose that will replace the "straw"
