AC condenser removal help/suggestions needed.

I'm replacing a leaky condensor and already remove the front bumper. I'm trying to find the best way to take the condenser out.

My friend tells me I can unbolt and tilt the radiator and pull it out from the behind, the manual doesn't say anything special (remove bumper, fan, then the condenser?), found one post that tells to completely remove the radiator.... I'm confused.

Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

I pulled my radiator out and it was easy. I suppose you could most likely just tilt the radiator but I wouldnt bother with that... you might end up making yourself a leaky radiator also

Yeah, I ended up removing the radiator. I had to remove the upper intercooler piping for easier access. It's straight forward, but a little time consuming.

Thanks guys.
