Stripping Front End

[raspberrycheesecake]

Hit a rabbit the other night...great!

Stripping the front end to repair and couldn't see where the aluminium pipes off the front radiator split? As they change into the rubber hoses and run into the engine bay. Can anyone tell me where these can be undone to remove the radiator?

Also, whats the pipe that runs across underneath the radiator at the front, then turns 180 and runs back on itself?

Thanks

the pipe under rad is powersteering fluid cooling pipes

Alu pipes from the rad are air con, needs splitting using the correct tool.

You'll also need to recover the gas before doing so and re-charge it later. Not really a home job.

Any ideas where to get the special tool?
