Default Changing Aux fan and thermostat

I was wondering how I would go about changing the Auxilary fan and the thermostat? Any help would be greatly appreciated as how to do this.

nothing easy about this job and basically the same as changing the timing belt and the thermostat being the issue, the colling fan is viscous and a left hand thread and the stat is behind it ( big job on the V6 )

Yes, full instructions are needed here, with complete torque specs. You don't wanny guess how tight a timing componet should be.
Bentley manuals have very good instructions.

A bentley manual will give you every little bit of info you would ever need, including wiring diagrams.

Well it is stuck, I try to turn it by hand and it just doesnt want to spin freely. The thermostat works well, I just have a new one that came with the car and was wondering about that.

All I really need to know is how to change out the fan.
