Replacing Radiator core support

Post by Ferris95 »

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.
