Default radiator support question...

OK. I got in an accident a while ago. The radiator support is bent now really bad so nothing works. I got a new one from honda for 60 bucks. Is there an easy way to get the old one (welded in) out of the car and put the new one in (also welded). I can weld but I don't have a welder yet. I can get a hold of a welder though and I'm sure I will need to. I also don't have an air compressor or any grinders to grind the old one out. Has anyone ever done this before? I could use a lot of help. Anything you got is appreciated. Thanks in advance. BTW, the car is an 87 crx with a d16zc swap. Thanks again!

P.S. Post number one and many more to come

Default Re: radiator support question... (boosted6)

i have done this on a 91 sedan
i got one from the j yard for 15 bucks
i did it ghetto though just chiseled the spot welds off with hammer and flathead
i think a better way would be to drill out the spot welds
when i installed it i just spot welded a few places i thought were important but i didn't put nearly as many as honda had originally

it is a MAJOR BITCH to take it off

good luck
