Angry radiator removal

We[ my son and I] are attempting to r n r the engine. How do you remove the radiator? Am I missing something? I dont see any way of getting it loose from the bottom.We are both long time auto and bus mechanics. This is a real mystery. Would really appreciate some insight. I must be too close to the problem,maybe me! Thanx CC

The radiator just sits on the bottom brace using rubber "pegs" to index it. It will lift out once all the fasteners have been removed. I don't know how far you are into it, but you will have to remove or push back the fan shroud, window washer bottle, and overflow bottle before the radiator comes out. Other than that, the fasteners are pretty much self evident. If you have done all that my guess is that the rubber has stuck to the bottom metal support real well and good 'ol force is next in line to remove it. There are no fasteners that directly attach the radiator to the bottom support.
