I've done three body lifts- 03, 04, and 07.

Yes, you have to remove everything in the directions. Especially the reservoirs since you will be removing the fan shroud. Just follow the steps one at a time and you'll be done before you know it.

Watch this to get a feel for it.

The instructions are good but some parts of it are a little ambiguous. Just take it easy and keep the beer flowing. All should be good. Mines 03 by the way.
