Has anyone here done this job before? I'm not a mechanic but I think I'm capable of minor repairs to my J... What is the level of difficulty for a repair like this one, and if any of you fellow J30 owners have any tips , Please feel free to Reply....

Theres no procedure in the FSM but I would assume youd want to remove the fan shroud. It looks very similar how you do it in the Q, its in basically same place..

Take out the fan shroud and theres 2 bolts holding it on... make an afternooon out of it.. If I had to rate it on a scale of 1-5, 1 being an air filter, 5 being an engine swap, id rate it as a 2.5.. not too bad.

Yes, I've done it. I took it out the bottom. It is more painful than most. IT goes without saying but I'll say it anyway, first disconnect your battery.2-2.5 hours should be on target for a first time effort.
