97 Camry front end damage
 

Hey guys. This past fall my girlfriend hit a light pole with my camry. It sat in my driveway over the winter and about 2 months ago I found a car for parts. For the most part disassembling the 2 have been easy so far but I have run into a problem. The Long U shaped bracket (?) that has the hood latch on it is attached to some paneling that the fenders are screwed/bolted to. Forgive me for not knowing the name. I didn't find any screws holding these together, but noticed there was an adhesive of some kind (Urethane I assume) and so far have not been able to get them to separate. First I tried a thick scewdriver and a chisel only to have the handles of both be taken off when trying to remove them. I then tried using a propane torch to soften/burn up the material but nothing. Is there some other way to go about this? If it is urethane I don't know of any solvent that would be able to remove this.

That bar/brace in front there with the dent near the center is what I am talking about.

Screwdriver bit stuck in the drivers side.

Top down shot. Bumper and bumper support have been removed.

If you are talking about the photo with the stick the parts are spot welded together. Every dimple in the metal is a spot weld.

You need to drill out the welds, there cutting tools for this. Do a Goggle search.
