Default radiator support help.

ok so i just got onto this site and im hoping it can be really helpful. i am young 17 with little experience with the dismantling and reassembling of car parts but hey u gotta start some where right.

So i rearended a buick and messed up my whole front end good and bent my radiator support. i want to do this my self for cost and experience reasons but i need a lil guidence. How do i remove the support and replace it with a new one? What time frame am i looking at and what do i need to remove? please any help will be appriciated. also if anyone can point me in the direction of a web site that can show me exploded views of my front end. i have a 1995 honda dx coupe. thank you

front bumper, headlights radiator a/c and the rad suppost must be drilled out with a spot weld drill bit and a new one will be welded in.. if you dont have experience with a welder etc. dont waste your time, pay to have it done the right way

Why do people think they can just change the core support and the frame horns are not going to be bent?

haha ill second that.... everyone is a bodyman now, dont you know????but yea changing the core support isnt gonna fix a bent frame which needs to pulled back out on a frame machine in order to be somewhat safer and setting everything back ot a factory measurement post some pics and ill tell you how bad youre in
