just take the 2 bolts out of the rad (bolts to the under side of the shassis rails) and drop it down carefully (and you won't need to remove the water hoses if someone helps you)

Then once thats clear, undo the 2 bolts on the 500 cooler (again from underneath) and it will drop down and come out from underneath.
