It's not a bad job with a lay down radiator but you will need to pull the radiator if it's in the original stand up position.
My radiator is in the original position and I did not have to remove it to remove the assembly. It was a challenge but doable with the radiator in place.
Sorry for the confusion. I have not done this repair on an assembled car since maybe the 90s. These day I assemble restored body shells and the systems are pre-checked before they get installed.
I do not remember the tools required to pull the bolts with the radiator installed but best guess would be a 1/4 drive 10mm universal socket and several extensions. If you do have the tools and can not access the 6mm bolts with a wrench do to the location, you may be able to get better access by removing the front fans and upper radiator mounts so it will move back and forth improving the bolt access.
Husker's info is nice to know, thank you.
Good luck.
