You gotta pull the front clip, the radiator has a few hoses and two mounts the come off from the top, AFAIK, there is no need to touch the side radiators, they all join to the main radiator via lower hose and that is out of the way.

I pulled my condenser cause it is easy to evacuate and recharge, but mine is a 2016, the with R134a, the new R1234 is like $100 a pound (I paid $100 for a 30 lbs bottle or R134a 20 years ago from Costco). I would be cautious flexing the fan. BTW you can just refill any year with R134a.
