Simple way to replace your radiator

Hey guys! I know I'm late to the party with this one, but it seems that removing the radiator on the W220 can be pretty complicated. I made a short video showing an easy way to remove the radiator.
I'm really just posting this video for anyone that might need it. I'm sure everyone is driving a W223 by now lol!

If your radiator was original, it was gonna break anyway. That’s exactly where mine started leaking when it was about 15 years old. I did the expansion tank and both hoses at the same time.
