Incorrect. That's how you remove the radiator, not the support. The support is welded on.

Like said above, you can find one at a junkyard or source one from a dealer.

Or you can also fabricate your own mounts. It's just a bunch of bars for your radiator, headlights, and bumper, and maybe charcoal canister as well.

You want to buy a new OEM part, but you didn't think of the dealer? Who else would carry it, WalMart?

get it at dealer or local auto body parts. but to remove it you need alot of tools and after that you need to weld it together. to remove it i recomand bring a huge flat head screw driver, hammer to hit it out. and last just bring a saw and saw it out. good luck

Do you know how to weld?

To remove- Drill out all spot welds. There are a lot. Take your time, drill them out CLEANLY.

If you drilled them out correctly, the whole support should pull right off. No hammering needed
