Radiator cleaning
Another alternative to removing the front bumper assembly is to buy some dishwasher hose or other flexible hose. Get about three feet and make sure it is sufficiently sturdy that a vacuum cleaner won't collapse it. I attached the dishwasher hose to a shop vac and push through the air slats on the front bumper. You may want to put a little painters tape on the bumper so it won't scratch the paint. You can then maneuver the hose around and get a lot of accumulated leaves, etc from the radiator. This is not as thorough as removing the bumper, but it is quick and easy.
