Radiator Hoses R53 - Help

Any have a good way at getting to the radiator hoses? I've got silicone replacements but can't see a way to get at all the hoses short of pulling the entire front end, hard bumper, radiator and all or pulling the front of the engine off. Neither of which I want to do if I can avoid it. Any tips out there from anyone that's replaced their hoses? Can't find anything out there except fluid changing guides.

There is no way to replace the hoses unless the car is in "service mode" which essentially is pulling the entire front end.

For me I had them changed when we were doing some other work. Unfortunately there is no way to do them any other way.
