Advice - need frame puller?

[adwill]

Hi all, I am fixing my daughter's Chevy 2020 Equinox. She was in a crash (everyone fine). Everything was repairable, but for this bent frame. It is causing the upper radiator shutters to get stuck (code P059F, the last code to resolve). You can see the shutters on the left. Any DIY tips or do I have to get the shop to use the frame puller? Thanks - Derrick

It looks like the impact bar. If so, you should be able to unbolt and replace. Make sure you look based on the plant it was made in and by the specs of the actual car...

Thank you for your help! If I can replace it that is good news. I will research this. Appreciate the lead! Derrick

No problem! Ebay has used ones for half the price. if you remove that black plastic and foam piece on the end, you should see the bolts. Of course you will need to remove the shutters. It doesn't look extremely hard, just time consuming. Good luck!
