Knew the "Front Crossmember Radiator Support Valance" was shot. Eyeing it nervously from above the engine bay, was scratching my head on what to do about this nasty lump of rust. Figured I'm not the only person out there who's faced this one.

 

This thread covers removing and replacing the culprit.

(04) Jacking The Engine Before Releasing FM Bolts

Jacked height is about 23cm. Jack up by the sump casing (using a wood block) and rest the engine on what I think is the clutch housing or gearbox.

Doing this before you loosen the cross member central bolts will stop the engine from landing on your head.
