fixing core support or it needs to be replaced?

[heroeant]

I was doing the timing belt job and i notice that the core support was bent on the lower part, the fan clutch has barely enough clearance

can it be fixed? someone who has done it has any tips or it needs to be replaced?





sorry for the potato quality.

Ratchet strap and a tree and pull it back out

definitely fixable. I've seen people fix worse.

Yeah, I might try the ratchet strap to a tree, I'll will be converting to electric fan, so that wont be an issue anymore if it doesn't work.
I will eventually repaint the car and that will be another chance to fix it(have somebody else to fix it).
