Replacing my front end basically because it got crunched in a crash, radiator support and where the headlight mounts to on the actual car is dented. I bought a whole new sub support assembly. I do not know how to get it off do I have to cut it. Or are there more bolts I do not know of?

These are spot welded into place when the car is manufactured, you will need to drill out the spot welds and re-weld in the replacement part.
