Been there, not fun.

 

You'll be requiring a spot weld drill, or any drill really and basically you'll have to start working your way around drilling it out. I would suggest you obtain your replacement rad support to see exactly where all the attachment points are, then start drilling it off. That's about as much of a procedure as I can provide, it's not tricky, just labour. Once all the components were removed I think it took about 1-2 hours of drilling... but I remember some tight spots where I had to use my right angle drill.

 

A little vague on the details I know, but it was about 8-9 years ago.
