Jim.....Simply lever the bottom upwards (or grab the top of the radiator and
"wiggle" it upwards) until the stud extending from the base of the radiator
moves up and away from the rack far enough to get the nut off. When
reassembling, remember to start the nuts and washers on the studs before
pushing it all the way down.
