MB W211 Radiator removal.

[aussie baz]

Hi guys, I have the dreaded water in auto gear box problem, my mechanic has the trannie out of the vehicle ready for repairs & I have ordered a new radiator for replacement. As he is a busy man I would like to save him time by fitting the radiator myself- as I am a retired mechanic with limited things I can still do ( my back is stuffed). What I am asking is how hard is it to replace the radiator & what is the prefered method. 2003 E240 MB

Simples really, Slam panel bolts off, Headlight mounting bolts off, front part of wheel arch liners have bolts that you need to remove, and then there is a sliding latch type arrangment on each side.
