to remove the radiator:
Step 1: empty the radiator with the radiator plug on the bottom of the radiator.
Step 2: remove the hoses, bottom, and top, and overflow
Step 3: remove the top bracket
Step 4: remove, if applicable, the underside plastic tray
Step 5: unplug the electric fan motors, usually two
Step 6: pull that sucker out
Caution: when putting new radiator fluid I would recommend using Subaru factory fluid with conditioner. Make sure you "burb" the radiator so that you don't have air line bubbles. Subaru's are a little harder than most.

I recommend buying a Koyo all aluminum radiator. You can find them in some online vendors or even ebay. Subaru's oem radiator w/ the plastic top is really cheezy and it's only a matter of time before it leaks again. Might as well spend a little more and get an all aluminum radiator. The Koyo quality is superb and made in Japan.
