I'm looking for the trick to get the tack welds cut off.
I can't figure out a tool to use to get the welds cut down.
On both ends the tack is on the back or bottom.

I'm trying to dissemble the car without doing too much damage.

I don't think they will come out without some barbarism. The bracket that holds them in position won't fit through the hole. The mig welded bead where they come out below the engine is a pain the get ground off.

The brackets I could cut off with a air hack saw.
Its the tacks at the end.
I ended up using an air chisel. That's pretty crude.
There's got to be a better way ....................
