With a cool engine, first drain and capture (and dispose of correctly) the coolant. Then remove the air filter assembly and then remove the engine driven fan if so equipped with the special fan clutch wrench and holding tool, then remove the fan shroud. If there is no engine driven fan (it is model dependent) proceed with the removal of the upper and lower radiator hoses and the feed hose from the bottom of the expansion tank. All of the coolant hoses have a clip that you pull into the release position and are sealed with o-rings. Then there are two Torx screws at the top corners of the radiator, remove them and the radiator should be ready to come out. The procedure is explained in the Robert Bentley repair manuals available for your car through Amazon.com, I highly recommend them.
