Radiator Core Support Replacement
Looking to see what all you have to unbolt to get the radiator core support off. I have taken all the bolts off that I can see underneath and inside the wheel wells. Plus the grill and the headlight assembly. The 2 big bolts with the rubber bushings came out much easier than I thought it would. Maybe cause I kept soaking them with PB Blaster for days. Do I have to take off the bumper? Any bolts someone can think of that I may have missed? Is there instructions or a good YouTube Vid out there on it? I saw one from true Autrestomod Manic Mechanic, but he has the whole front end taken off, so that was no help. Also, is there anything else I should lok at replacing while I have all the stuff off? The support was the only thing I saw with rust holes on it, so that is why I’m replacing it.

The bumper can stay in place if you removed the lower rock shield and blinkers when you removed the grill. Once you have the bolts off the core support should move around. You will need to pull the top of the core support away from the inner and outer fenders as it sits under those. May be a good idea to pull the radiator before pulling the support. That's all I can think of for the moment.
