Ready to remove your radiator? The job should take around half an hour, but allocate some extra time, as you wont want to rush. Heres the Handy Squads guide on how to remove a radiator.
Gather your equipment
Before you can start the removal, you need to make sure you have the correct tools and equipment to complete the job. You should grab a radiator bleed key, an adjustable spanner, a pair of grips, tissue paper, a large bowl and two towels. If possible, use towels that you dont mind getting dirty, as you will be putting them directly on the floor.
