Before you begin, open the bonnet of your Toyota Rav4. Start by removing the upper radiator cover by unscrewing the fixing screws. Next, remove the upper crossbar by unscrewing the relevant bolts.

This will give you access to the radiator. Proceed to completely drain the radiator, then disconnect the associated hoses.

At this point, unscrew and remove the bolts that secure the radiator to the frame. Once you have completed this step, you can finally remove the radiator from its housing, successfully completing the disassembly.
