The bolts holding the fan to the clutch are easy since you can turn the fan to move all four to an easy to reach spot. It is the four that hold the clutch to the water pump that can be a bear to reach. But, if you loosen the alternator belt so the water pump can be turned so all four are in an easy to reach spot the whole job goes quickly. Be sure to retighten the alternator belt using something for a lever to make sure it is good and tight. Another on the road trick to consider is parking over a parking lot drain which is usually recessed to promote water flow so may give you more room to wiggle under without jacking. You do need to find some way to block the frame so in the unlikely event that an air bag spontaneously exploded, the frame can't crush you while you are under there!
