What would be the simplest way of removing all of this weld? cutting it out and replacing it? Or what? I don't know what would be the easiest. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | not an "easy way", other than the rotary welding eraser, although some of us might wish there was!
if you can't grind it off you probably will have to cut and replace
