Bob,
This all depends on how long the frame has been sitting on the car.  If it has 
never been removed or not lately, it is highly likely that it may take
a bit of working to get it off.  And the rubber very likely will need to be 
replaced.  It's a good idea to count on replacing it.

Regards,
Joe
