Its prety simple, remove the air lid, tray and mass air flow. Then drain the radiator and remove the bottom and top hose. The air filter tray should be holding the top of the radiator down, so after all that is off just pull it up. There are two feet on the bottom of the radiator that just sit in holes in the lower support.

I have always unpluged the fans and pulled them out with the radiator.
