you can get it out from top. but its more pain in the *** than trying to pull it out from the bottom.

this comes from a guy (me) that has pulled/install his 8's radiator 3 times.

you just need 4 jack stand and u can do it.

its pretty time consuming especially if u have never done it b4, but ahh its a good thing to do, get a few cold beer, have a few friends around to bs with u. not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
