u gotta make sure its the right size or you will have issues, but the claws just go behind little flaps on the pulley. it does the same thing, just with hooks rather than screws

Nope, you don't "have" to take either out but taking the rad out would make it easier. I believe that's how I read it?

nono, the radiator should just slip out once you get some things unhooked from it. its a pita but doable. it lifts right out of the car. then you can get to all of the water pump bolts.
