Yeah the top down method is hard because there is like no space between the radiator fan and if you have big hands it will be a problem.

For me (if you go to my main thread) I will be doing the bottom up method so there will be alot more room, especially if you partially pull the radiator fan.

Malo addressed this issue by not putting that guide ring in, no guide ring means no chance for interference with the seal, and thus no chance for that to cause a fitment issue. The only negative is a bit more hassle during install but it shouldn't be a problem because all you have to do is push up on the tabs to line it up and you can tape it down just to hold it temporarily while you screw it down if you wish. Or just hold down the front while screwing it in.
