Default How to replace radiator/condensor fan assembly

I have a 2010 Q5 3.2L and the cooling fan blade assembly departed from the motor. I bought the fan assembly that has both fans and motors. Does anyone have a how to guide on how to replace the fan assembly? It is not as straight forward as I thought it would be. Thanks for any help.

Would these instruction be the same for a 2011? And, is it necessary to drain the coolant and disconnect the ATF lines to just change out the fan assembly?

Thank you!

You are lucky you dont have to remove wheel well liner the front bumper the safety bar and intercooler. Well without the audi instructions I would imagine that I would have done it differently..
