Would someone verify that the front bumper does or does not have to be removed to replace the radiator?
I'm not sure from some of the posts I read . . .

I'd say you could avoid removing it, but it's too easy to take it off not to.

This. I've done a rad with bumper on... It's not hard but the bumper is another 15 minutes that will save a lot of hassle.

I'm looking over the underside and the radiator and I can't see how the bumper gets in the way.
What exactly is the purpose of removing the bumper ?

Messing with the rad/cdr/IC assembly is easier with more access.
