rear bumper

Went to take o rear bumper today and po welded bumper and brackets together. So i was going to take off from the frame brackets are welded also. My problem is i can't get nothing up there to get the welds off any ideas. It is a stock bumper and brackets. thanks

:ack: My question is why would someone do that... especially to the frame!

 

Where and how is it welded?

It is spot welded on the bracket to the frame in about 4 spots. I don't understand why it has the bolt going through the brackets and frame. I am not worried about the bumper it is bent up and rusted. Could i cut the bumper off and use remainder the bracket to tie into.Sorry no pictures

I'm not sure if cutting off the bumper and tying into the existing bracket will work. It's gonna depend on what type/brand of bumper you are going to use.

 

Pics would make it easier to diagnose your problem if you can get them.

What about cutting the bumper off from the brackets and backing the bolts out. You should be able to break the tack welds off by hitting it with a good sized hammer in the side to side motion.
