    So I’m trying to remove the front left radiator on my 458. The workshop manual says I must: 1) remove trunk tub, 2) remove front bumper, 3) discharge the entire A/C system, 4) remove the A/C condenser, and then FINALLY 5) undo 4 bolts and remove the radiator.

    I think it’s crazy that you have to discharge the A/C system and have to remove the condenser just to get access to the 4 bolts to remove the front left radiator.

    Has anyone on here remove the front left radiator? Is there an easier way?

    Removed dozens sounds about right. At least your car should be R134, the R1234yf cars add $1500 for evacuating and recharging the system.
