Hello everyone :salute:. Im new to the site. I recently wrecked my 02 Explorer :mad: after loosing control in the rain, and ending up in a ditch on one of those round-about interstate exits :roll:. The damage was not too bad, so I decided that I'm going to fix it myself. I found this site while looking for other possible options, and I fell in love with all the beautiful trucks :eek:. I've already got all the replacement parts from the junkyard, but my dilemma was realized when I (after taking apart the front fascia) saw that the radiator support was dented inward. I have an abundance of tools, but somehow I forgot to own a welder, or learn how to even use one if I had it.

My question is should I pay to have the radiator support replaced or try to pull it straight :help: ? (I have pictures below)

ummm... how do I add pictures?
 






If it is bent and not broke then you can just straighten it back out easy enough. Just go easy on it as you slowly work the metal back out and you should be fine.

Also, I don't see the pictures to give you more specific details??
