I had just had my radiator replaced a couple of months ago.
We did not have to talk off the front bumper.
We jacked up the car. And dropped the radiator out from the bottom. We ended up taking out the dual fans, but did not discharge the ac or any sort.
This was quite a long task. I'd say it took about 8 hours. It is a very tight space up there in the front of the car.
