I just did this last year. Followed a write-up somehwere on this forum. No, you don't have to remove the radiator. The whole bumper slides foward enough for you to get at it. Start by taking off the bumper cover, then take out the long bolt sitting by itself if I remember right. Then take out one of the short ones in a grounp of 3 on each side and replace it with the long bolt threaded 1/2 way in. Then remove the other 2 bolts. The bumper should slide foward on the long bolt then, radiator and all. It gives you about 10 inches to work on the front of the engine.

I hope I remembered everything, seems like there was more to it. Took me about 8 hours total to do it. Good luck, if this doesn't help, do a search on here for that write-up. My computer at work is too slow to search.
