Should be easy enough.

Close the main control valve by turning it to *.
Pop the cover off the underside of the pipe the controls valve is attached to and use an allen key on the screw you can see underneath to tighen it up as far as it will go.

This should close both valves on the radiator so you can undo the pipe fittings, drain it and remove it like a regular radiator. Tip: Opening the bleed valve will let the water drain a lot faster.
