@anyplace , ryder, this usually takes specialized equipment like a frame rack with different pulling rams/arms along with measurement tools that tell when Rad cradle/ which your front mounts are attached are back in specification, the collision technician can also identify hidden damage you do not notice that could be a problem later. If cradle is too bad, it is removed and replaced with new or a good used cradle. You really should have a good body shop have a look and estimate what it would cost to just pull the Rad cradle back in alignment and if you feel comfortable, you could do the rest of work from there.

There is also the redneck fix(not recommended unless you have some knowledge of auto repair and can work with a good sense of the dangers involved), loop a chain and come along/winch around a tree/very solid post or onto a truck at appropriate height/angle and opposite end of chain bolted to strategic spots as not to cause more damage on already damaged cradle, carefully/work slow, give small pulls/tugs until cradle is close to being back in place. Finish/finesse cradle around with porta power/ hydraulic bottle jacks, hammers, crow bar, vise grips, etc. until( hood opening and closing, engine aligned, rad positioned/fans back in position, etc). Check the attached vids, not your exact car, but links do show what is involve in straightening and removal/replacement of a rad cradle. Good luck.

I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
