How hard would it be to replace the front cross member without pulling the motor(hold it up with a hoist), or I'm thinking to just try n bash it back into place until winter when I actually pull my motor.

Changing front crossmember isn't that hard. As said before. Get a hoist. The hardest part is the steering rack but once you take off the rack clamps your set.

Awesome, yeah I went n smashed it with a hammer and it wouldn't budge so looks like I'll be getting a new one. On a side note my frame rails are fuckered and the pinch welds are trashed, any other place I can put jack stands since they are currently on the cross member? On a plus side I have no power steering, might make this easier lol
