idiot's guide to pulling the front clip?

[ryoken]

Thanks for all the advice guys. I am really liking the taking off the core support and leaving the rest there. I was un aware I could do that.

I can swap the motor and take care of some minor surface rust that has started under the battery tray and near the front fender.

it's way more work than just pulling the hood...

True, but I need to clean up the surface rust and repaint the front of inner fenders? Back of front fenders and back sides of the core support. I think I could access all of that with the core support off.

Unless you have an easier suggestion?

If you are going to go that far to clean, then I suggest going ahead and removing the front clip...you have easy access to the engine, easy access to all the components (you won't get the rust in the seams if you don't. If you want to clean up the entire engine bay and frame then go ahead and pull the clip...it's a bit of work but the results will be much better. IMO
