Radiator support! Help please..

[truoss]

How do you take an old, bent radiator support off of a 94 civic hatch? It looks like I would need to cut it off and then weld the new one on...is that right, or is there an easier way?

Thanks,
truoss

Its more along the lines of drilling out a lot of spot welds, and re welding the new one in their. It takes a while, but if you do it right then it should be good as new.

I'm having this done to my totaled civic as we speak.

You're having it done? How much do they charge do take the old off and install the new?

dam i should just drill out the spot welds, today i got all of my radiator support out of my 93 hatch except for the very edges and the bottom crossmember becaus it was to thick, drillign them out would be better than whippin out a plasma cutter i bet
