Monster S4 radiator

Hi
How to I remove the radiator. I am usually very good at looking and working theses things out. I have flushed all fluids and removed hoses. There seems to be 4 plastic star shaped bolts holding it in but with only one 8mm bolt on the top right. What I do not want to to is force anything. As a see on eBay a few bent in that area.

Can anyone give me a tip. Hopefully I am just being over courteous?

Thanks

If it's fastened on like a 916 then you remove the bolt and then it just 'unhooks' from the others.

Note a 916 also has a bracket at the back that braces it against the cylinder head but this maybe because there are only 2 fixing points (with the blue rubber 'star' washer).

Remove top right hand side bolt the rest with a bit of finneagling will slide to the left on the rubber anti vibration mounts unless someone has changed it with bolts

Thank you people. It does look that way logically. Have you any pictures to point it out?
