17 540i radiator diy replacement help?

Hello everyone, I am tackling the radiator job soon and was wondering if anyone had a repair manual/guide to replace the radiator on a 2017 540i B58? Thanks in advance for any help!

If you are looking at the car head on there is a lower hose on the front of the 2 radiators that’s near the intake duct on the left side. The only way you can reach it is through the grills and I believe i had to pull some of the plastic/rubber trim pieces back a bit. I attached a picture of the hose that’s on top of it but it’s like several inches below it.
