I have to admit I'm not much of a body person but I do know the old ones are tack welded. My question to those who have more experience than me, is how to remove them. I would welcome all ideas and suggestions. Thanks, Steve 53Movinon | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 | | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 815 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 815 | Thanks , What is a spot weld remover bit, and where would I buy one? 53Movinon | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 35 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 35 | They are special bits for your drill that are designed to remove spot welds. I bought some at Eastwood.com but you can probably find them cheaper elsewhere.
