2008 Front End question

Question regarding the radiator support on a 2008 escape. The lower radiator tie bar I'm curious if anyone knows if that thing bolts in or is spot welded. Wife hit a deer and I'm thinking about fixing it myself. The tie bar was bent and will need to be replaced. If it bolts in, I'm good with doing the job myself, but if it will need to be cut out and re-welded I don't think I will mess with it. Here is the Replace part # for the tie bar 8L8Z16138B or you can look here:https://www.parts.com/index.cfm?fuse...-LOWER-TIE-BAR
It's number 3 on that diagram.

I can't get a good look at the thing without a complete teardown and can't find anything online so thought I'd ask here. Thanks.
