On my 2001 you can remove the brace across the top between the front fenders (it has the hood cable attached and 6 bolts) and pull the radiator out. I have the a/c condensor and an oil cooler in front of the radiator as well and they do not require removal. The a/c condensor slips into 2 brackets on the front of the radiator with no bolt or screws at the top, there are two screws at the bottom.
One note of caution---be sure the rubber mounts on the new radiator are the same size as the old ones, on the bottom and the front where the two (2) screws go through to hold the radiator or the radiator will not line up properly.

Can anyone explain how to disconnect the electrical connector from the cooling fan motor? It has a small red plastic interlock clip on the plug which comes off, but the connectors still don't budge.
I'm afraid I'm going to shatter them if I apply more force.
