Wipers have a little nut on them, under a cover. flip cover, remove nut, pull headlight wiper off. This leaves a stub. Then remove bumper. Solved. :D

Hi frazeb.
Once you get the bumper of,shine a light at the tpo and back of the radiator.
You will see 4 10mm bolt. These hold the top of the rad to the car.
At the bottom you will see 2 10mm bolts. These hold the bottom of the rad to the car.
When these are all removed,the rad will lift out.
Cheers Mark.

It's not even necessary to remove the front bumper. The radiator comes out through the opening when you remove the front grille. But it's easier when the bumper is out of the way though.
