whowey Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Sawzall? Usually, my 3 foot breaker and a little grunt and U-bolts are history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88swampedmj Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 i used a cutt off wheel on my ubolts when i did my soa....iam a wuss haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I used to use a corless sawsall, but I found theat the ones with the hardened ubolts would eat up the blades. I just go with a hacksaw and a 5/16 wrench and a hammer. Only cut one ubolt on each side, and hammer the spring plate off. Hacksaw through the shocks, too- the oil will lube the blade ;) I usually can get one out and on the cart in 20 minutes or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingpong Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 When I strip Xj's and trucks at the house I use the cutting torch for almost everything :nanner: Makes life much easier. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 They won't let us bring torches into the local P&P. Even if they did, it is quicker for me to go in with the hacksaw- I kinda like it, I use one at work all day. (I'm an electrician) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
