yes, but you have to remove the rear lights to get to the radiator first, then you can do the clutch

for the clutch, you will need to remove the slave cylinder hose with a 11mm spanner, a left handed one of course :eye: :thumleft:

maybe he means the radiator in his house, he could be doing a clutch change in the bedroom and the radiator is in the way, if this is the case, then yeah, you'll need to take the radiator out :thumleft:
