First of all drain all anti-freeze and safely dispose. Remove top and bottom hose clamps from radiator.

Disconnect both radiator fans from the vehicle harness.

Remove the radiator reservoir and set aside. If it is an automatic, there will be two black hoses that are clamped to the radiator, these will need to be removed and fluid safely drained. If it is an 5-6 speed there should be no additional hoses to remove.

Once all of this is done, remove the two straps that fasten the radiator at the top. The radiator should be able to be lifted straight up at this point. If it is haning up, STOP and find out what is it hanging up on.

The removal time should take about 5-10 minutes provided you have all the right tools. The transmission lines and draining coolant hoses are the most time consuming.

I hope that helps. Stick to OEM when repairing and replacing. Subaru is really finicky if you start using aftermarket parts. I had to learn the hard way.
