Ok my girl asked me to change her oil and brakes on her 05 neon sxt. Right easy done it before on several cars! Well when all was said and done I went to put the car down off the jack stands well I made a rookie mistake and put the jack on the radiator support frame. Yes I know I'm an idiot hassel me about it later! My question is can the radiator support frame be removed? if so how? I can hammer every thing back in place if I can get it off and hope I didnt brake the radiator! I know I need a new hose but Ill deal with that when the time come.
PLEASE HELP!!!

lol.. hahaha.. ok now thats out my system..

if your rad didn't leak, your probably ok. How smushed it is.. you may be fine with the way it is now.. got a pic.

Yes, most rad cradles come out.. but not easy, and usually with the removal of fenders and all, rad,, head lights. and all the fun jazz.. so just put a hose on it and see how she goes before getting too deep.. i mean its just a neon.. OOPS did that slip out..

good luck.

if it doesn't come out and you don't have access to hydraulic tools, best bet would be to use a come along and gingerly tap it back out
