Remove the wiring harness on the electrical fan by pushing the red safety clip over and then pressing in on the black plastic clip while pulling to release.

Remove the Reservoir line and set aside.` Pull the radiator support (the metal bracket on top of the radiator) with a socket wrench, in this case it is 10mm nuts and bolts on all sides of the support.

If you don’t need the A/C condenser, go ahead and unbolt it from the radiator now. The A/C condenser is the small radiator looking like thing in front of the radiator.
