Did my 97 Silverado tonight. The job was a piece of cake - the hardest part was getting fan off. I used a 10 MM closed-end wrench and wedged it against the tensioner and a large pliers to loosen the nut. WD-40 helped as well.

Hopefully I got her sealed up well without leaks. Took about 1 1/2 hours to do it right, and I didn't have any extra bolts at the end which is good for me.
