Detach the cooling package brackets from the chassis and make sure that it is free from all pipes. Use the radiator attachments as handles and lift out the radiator by hand.

Make sure that it does not touch the lower engine cover attachment. Position the radiator at an angle if necessary.
Dismantle the cooling package by first removing the fan cover (3) from the radiator (2), and then removing the radiator from the charge air cooler (1).
