Spooky,
There is no need to pull the radiator in order to clean it. You can do the job yourself if you want to. Get a garden sprayer and mix some Simple Green with water and spray the radiator from the engine compartment, and then outside also. Let it sit for about 15-minutes then hose it down with a garden hose. (Using a high pressure sprayer can damage the radiator fins)
Now after you think you have flushed it well, start the engine and run it at about 1000 RPMs for a couple of minutes to blow out the radiator. Now do it all again, and again until it is clean.
Yep, it's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.
