First, place a container under the radiator. Using pliers, remove the two clips that secure the two lower water pipes leading to the radiator.

Remove the pipe and let the water drain into the container. To speed up the process, you can open the cap of the water reservoir.

Remove the clip that secures the upper coolant pipe connected to the radiator. At this point, unscrew the two bolts that secure the radiator in place.
