coyote 03-27-2002, 06:42 PM Guy's whats easier...cutoff wheel or sawzall? Never had to remove them and this is what I have access to...and most importantly and tips? My plan was to cut the flat part off with a grinder the use a sawzall to clean up the flat parts the grind flat and smooth and reweld....do I need to pull the axle apart to weld or just go slow and keep the heat down??? Thanks...... JoshC 03-27-2002, 07:02 PM Just grind the welds till you see a crack then hit it with a BFH. Klasick68 03-27-2002, 07:02 PM I've had good luck just grindin the welds, then hammerin on em w/ the BFH, It rips the tube a bit, but just weld that back in, and u don't even need new perches, just clean em up a bit ,put em where ya want em and blaze away (if you are keepin leafs) how can u go wrong there??? HTH coyote 03-27-2002, 07:12 PM I have two grinders: a 4 1/2 angle and a 2" air grinder and mounts that are near and don't think I can save them and their only 20 bucks to replace......will try this weekend and reweld them to correct my angle problem...keep them coming! convertiyota 03-27-2002, 07:14 PM I used the 4.5" angle grinder and BFH. Rotated and welded them right back on. It takes a little while to get the welds completely ground down. CJ5-Man 03-27-2002, 10:26 PM if you got an arc welder get some magnesium cutting rods. easiest and cleanest way to get them off Gozuki 03-27-2002, 11:07 PM Buy somebody w/ plasma a 6 pack... brector 03-28-2002, 06:46 AM 4" angle grinder, 4" cut-off wheels, and a BFH once the welds are fully cut. nwmud 03-28-2002, 06:52 AM Torch them off and make your own new ones. Its real easy to do if you got access to the torch and welder. All mine are home brew. Ritch | |
