How do I get to the radiator bolts?

I've got a 2004 SL55 and a leak in my radiator. I got a new one from FCP Euro and started the process of swapping that (and might as well do the waterpump and thermostat while I'm at it). I have the front cover off and on the new one there looks to be two bolts a little lower than midway down on the radiator. I can't see how to get to those in on the car to get the old one out. Does anyone have any experience swapping the radiator out? Thanks.

Nevermind I just needed to get back out here looking at it during the day time. They're ready to see.

New question though. Does anyone have the torque specs of the water pump and thermostat? I've been searching and all I can find is a picture that says stuff like M8 bolt tapped 10nm, m8 not tapped 25nm or something like that. I'm not sure which bolts are which. Thanks.
