popeyeball did pass the time by typing:
I find it easier to unbolt the fan and take both it and shroud out at the same time.
I dunno about the screws, mine is held in by a cross brace and some rubber top-hat looking things.

Remove the four bolts holding the fan on the thermal clutch. While you have the fan out, clean the goop off the blades to stop the excess wobble induced on the water pump bearings by the dirt. If you see lots of oil on the blades, the clutch might be leaking.

Fans unbolted, how do I get that thing in front off. Not much room there. Do I use some kind of puller? I need to drop the new Rad in to get to Turkey dinner tomorrow afternoon. Snowing today, nobig deal, made a tent with a tarp. I'm going to have to haul that old pickup and clean the other junk out of the way. Thanks, Steve

Not sure about TJ's but on my YJ the "gizmo retainers" are little clips that I also cursed out, but was able to get replacement ones at NAPA Auto Parts. I just took a damaged one in to them and they were able to match it.
good luck paul

I think you can just push the shroud and fan back out of the way and the rad lifts up out.

He has an auto, so he still has the cooler lines to disconnect.
