Easiest way to Do this

[BookspanS]

What is the easist way to pull the driver's side front bunper bracket straight that doesn't cost me $150. My brakes went out and I rear ended a Tundra and now I am tryin to get my front end fixed so I can get an OEM bumper

Pull it yourself junkyard

Chain & come-a-long & a big tree

Good Luck

Personally, I'd buy a new bracket from QuadtaTec or Keystone. Only costs like $10 IIRC.

 

Oops. Wrong again. $6.99. Not worth getting dirty for what you might save at a JY

Sounds to me like an opportunity to upgrade. :brows:

Its the part that tied to the unibody

Your close-up photo is so close-up I can't see what the problem is.

 

You asked about bumper brackets. Are you now saying that the frame "ear" is bent? That's an integral part of the chassis. A good body shop could cut one off a wreck and weld it into yours -- for about five times what the truck is worth. Moe than likely, what you need is a come-along, a couple of bottle jacks, a torch to heat up the metal, and a BFH.

Get you a big ball peen hammer, a long pair of channel locks, and a few vise grips, then just start twisting, banging, pulling till its straight..

I know you don't probally have access to this type of equipment, but a come-a-long, some heat, and a BFH using this process is what I'd do for a "DIY" job.
