Cleaning and Prepping Parts for BMW X5 e53 Cooling System Overhaul

I had a leak and later identified a crack in the expansion tank. During the process of replacing it I noticed that the radiator is bent and some hoses are brittle, leading me to decide on a full cooling system overhaul. Watch as I carefully wash and inspect the parts I removed that are still good to be reused.
