This isn't so bad of a job, even if you can't get the fan of because a bolt head is rounded, like mine. It helps to have a swivel socket or at least a wobble extension to use though.
The original has a shady looking solder on the outside... the scrappy's replacement does not. That means... possibly nothing.
You have to strip the stator wire bundle back a bit to get the wire out enough to work with - and don't forget to put the wire from the new part through the grommet before you crimp it.
If you can't get a bolt or nut back in place with your fingers, you can wedge it in a socket with a thin piece of paper to hold it secure while you fish it in with an extension.
Since I snipped the old wire off short I had more wire than before, and as I taped it up it left a nice little loop exposed to hook into with a piercing probe if I ever want to test that wire.
