190e Radiator - Skipped a Step and Knocked a Hole in it

I installed a freshly DIY rebuilt power steering pump. While I was in there, I replaced the fan clutch bearing bracket with a new Febi, and removed the air pump for inspection.

Well, the power steering pump rebuild failed. After trying for hours to bleed the system, I pulled the filter out and found a chewed up o-ring. I got the bright idea to pull the power steering pump out to put the old leaky one back in without removing the radiator again. I just tried to lean it back to get the wrenches in there.

So I hear a loud "ting" followed by coolant spraying out. I was wiggling the A/C condensor when it happened. It was a Nissens that I installed a year ago.

Bummer. Having to share the 2013 Altima with my wife until the new radiator arrives. She doesn't work, but it's gonna be a fight all week long.
