The radiator does not need to be removed but it does need to be loosened from its mounts. Also, the front fascia and bumper cover will need to be removed. I would start by disconnecting the battery. Here are the instructions on how to replace the radiator cooling fan. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
