Unhappy 02 C230k Radiator repl. How to remove intercooler?


Not my car but looks just like my problem.
I've got a 2002 C230K, manual.
I've been surfing forums for days. Lots of posts about radiator replacements, all stating the radiator 'just lifts out'.
We've pulled the fan and popped the clips to the condensor but there is no "just lifting it out".
How do you release the radiator from the intercooler? If it pops out, that would be great but sometimes muscle just breaks things.

Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Bracket on radiator with intercooler mounted NOT my car

...And any help getting the lower condensor clips free, please. we found the flat screwdriver trick to release the air charge cooler but the condensor is still clipped on and the charge cooler won't let go.
