Radiator support replacement 2000 2wd 5 lug Tacoma

Are there any videos of anyone doing a core/radiator support replacement?
Or anyone that’s done it before have any advice?

 

Every job is always going to be different. the game plan is to be as straight as possible left to right and top to bottom.

A few I just forget which are spot welded and which are bolted .

Spot welded use a spot weld cutter to cut the spot welds . drill holes in the new radiator support pull things as straight possible . plug weld it fast.

Remove the bolts pull the old one off . straighten as best as possible.

Get as many bolts in finger tight as possible . Slowly work around keeping things straight .

If the inner fenders have been pushed it is pure hell getting things back to square.

Accept as good as it will get .

In some cases longer bolts are needed or spacers !! Caged nuts need replaced with weld nuts

Having extra hardware is always good

Good Luck!
