The Radiator does not have to be removed, Just the fan shroud, then the fan and fan clutch assembly. When taking off the water pump it is very important to label where each bolt goes. If you put the wrong bolt in the wrong hole it will break the cam-shaft gear.

Best bet is to replace the radiator.
The transmission will have to be removed.
The thermostat on a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2L is replaced by draining the coolant and disconnecting the radiator hose. The housing is then unbolted, the thermostat removed, and a new unit put in its place.
No but it will give you alot more room to work and radiator fins are very delicate. If you insist on keeping the radiator in place cut out some thick cardboard and place it over the fins. I would most definitely remove it. I have replace the water pump, radiator, and thermostat in my 98 limited 5.9L
