F10 N63 intercooler removal

How difficult is it to remove the intercoolers on an F10 550?

Once the fan is out it’s actaully not too complicated but draining the coolant from them and getting to the lower bolts holding them in can be tricky

Can you describe how you get to the lowest bolt? That is the last little bit I have to get to before it will come loose. Is it necessary to remove the fan or radiators to get to it? Thanks in advance.

Remove just the fan and that gives you room to work with. It’s tricky access to the bike, basically have to feel for it with your hand
