1987 Radiator Core Support

One side of the core support is completely gone. I'm going to have to replace the support. Is this very hard?

unbolt remove rad,shroud lights,grill , Unbolt anything attached to rad support. Unbolt fenders (may need to looses splash fenderwells) Cut support body mount bolts If can't get loose (excellent time to do poly mounts. Once everything is loose You should be able to move fender aside enough to get support out .

I'm sure I missed some thing but just take every thing off till it comes out. The mounts/bolt will probably be hardest thing to do.

Its not hard but label all bolts take pictures and make notes. It will take a full weekend if by yourself ,A helper just labeling stuff you take off will speed things up. Greatly. The mount bolt may need grinde or sawsall to get out . I don't like to use tourch here because of all oil grease ETC.


GOODLUCK LOST
