Your 2 cents worth is worth a lot more to me, the c6 is different in so many ways , compared to other cars. And I'm a firm believer in knowledge being the key to success. I appreciate your help with this job. And trust me to have someone who knows how to do it because they've done it, that's the best knowledge of all

Fyi, the most frustrating part of the job, for me, was removing the electric fan. There's just not a lot of room to work. After some effort, and a number of select 4 letter words, it ended up coming out (and going back in) from the bottom. You will need to make sure you have the car off the ground enough to get it out that way if it works out, for you, the same way. Good luck!
