First i would employ an extra pair of hands,

Then its front bumper off, torx 25's in wheel archs and 3 where grill shuts and underneath, there is also a couple behind side grills for good measure.

Mark with a marker round where the front panel fits and the crash bar then remove the 4 torx screws holding the headlights in,

The rad pack is bolted into the front panel with 4 mounts with 2 bolts each either side, 2 on each side upper and lower,

Next its 3 13mm bolts holding crash bar on each side and then bonnet latch, 2 torx 40's and electric connector,

Then unbolt 2 bolts either side from slam panel and it should lift off leaving rad pack hanging on pipes.

There abit of a pain especially on your own, i removed mine and had it blasted and painted as it was looking abit grubby and rusting along bottom,

Also might be an idea to change rad mounts while you have it off
