So the integra that i have ended up in the ditch, i have a radiator support ready to be put on but on the right side where the radiator support bolts into is alittle bent, back and to the left. the outside bolts line up but the right side dont, whats the best way to pull this out, a hammer might do the job if its big enough, and i dont feel like swinging a object around the engine. i need this straight so i can weld the support in place, thanks .

 

i've been reading online how to do it, but im just going to take this to a body shop

 

bring it to me...

 

i live in va beach, think you might be able to come down here, if i really have to bring it up there, guess i can do it, just need to rent another trailor. what kind of experience do you have with this kind of repair, and how much will you charge?

 

just read your profile, answers my question about your experience

 

well to be honest with you...its probably worse than you think...it normally moves both frame rails together...the rad support connects them...you preety much have to put a new hood on and test fit another rad support and check the rails...then take on and off who knows how many times till you get everything inline...and then weld everything up...i would have to see it to give a price...

 

if i send you pics of it do you think you can give me a price?

 

its not going to be as accurate as seeing it in person. why not just take the 20 minute drive from va beach to hampton and get him to look at it.

 

1. radiator support is not on so that means....
2. the radiator is not on the car, also no lights, no bumper, no hood

so far i'll recap, no radiator support, no radiator, no bumper no hood, still following me, so i really cant drive the car up there right now....correct

so that leaves me to haul it up there, so i need a trailor, so i guess sense its 11pm their closed, so i'll wait till tmorrow, rent a trailor and pull the car up with my truck...20min to do all that, dont think so. sense of my busy week, i cant do it till next week/weeke

 

you'll may need to put it on a frame machine depending on how bad it is. if not to horrible you may be able to use a pogo stick(not bouncy kids toy) and a hammer to pull it back. to line up the core support(aka "radiator support") putting stuff on and taking it back off numerous times is a waste of time. all you need is to make sure the front is square. you can do this by using a tape measure and going diagonally from corner to corner to see if they are the same length.
