Removing my radiator?

just a quick one how the hell do you release the rad from the left hand mounting that goes through the scuttle panel without damaging the rad?

10mm bolt on the L shape brackets ...remove the bolt and the bracket pulls up , it might be stiff

pull off 2 brackets and the rad should lift up once the hoses are off
