Just keep a squirt bottle handy and cut that sucker. Remember cutting ole Plymoths up for dine buggys. We'd get them for $25 from the junk yard and cut off the body, lots of squirt bottles, drag them home and run the rear end up to the transmission and bolt them solid. Then cut off all the rest of the frame. Just an ole recollection, but keep a squirt bottle handy to keep anything else from going off. The grease will burn, but not explode.
