'03 JGC Laredo 4.0 randomly overheating . . .

Replaced thermostat and temp sensor, next is the electric radiator fan that is not coming on at high heat temps.

Has anyone here replaced their fan and how much of a pain in the a$$ was it? any hints/tips on removal and replacement?

thanks in advance

I installed a new fan and accompanying mount and it worked fine. I had tested the old fan and it spun up as well . . . ??? I was then sure that after installing the new fan, the relay was next!
Oingo boingo the new fan worked fine variable speeds and all . . . ! NO MORE OVERHEATING! And no replacing the relay either!

Question for everyone . . . because I to replace fluids(just water) about 6 times there is no anti-freeze/coolant in the radiator/cooling system. What is the best way to drain at least a gallon out so I can add real coolant?
