How high to remove radiator from bottom?
Just like it says. How high does the car need to be to remove it from the bottom? Is it even possible without a lift? Where did you take your measurement from?

With the fans removed it probably doesn't have to be that high off the ground. Once you lower it enough to clear the ABS module you could probably tilt the bottom toward the front of the car and slide it out at an angle, although I'm not sure how much room you have between the lower radiator support.
My question is, why would you want to remove it from the bottom? It's SOOOO easy to pull from the top, with the fans still attached.

Very easy from the top. Just remove the upper radiator support, air bridge, and disconnect the radiator hoses. Then separate it from the AC condenser and the disconnect the electrical connectors/harness from the fans, and it lifts right out. You can lift the fan assembly out first or leave it attached and remove them together as one unit.
