I'm having a tough time removing the pivots. How do you get rid of the brazing? I found more of it used in the trunk to fill a small rust hole.
I don't want to grind too much in case I cut through the sheet metal, and the grinder wheel (4.5") is too big to get the rear side. Suggestions? Attached image(s)

Yeah...it sure is a drag to mess around with anything like that...hey, if you could plan something like this....you can rent the ace-oxy welder from rental, do your removal and reweld a new piece? That's if you able to weld decently...ummm
Another possibility...since its a mess to deal with, if you can get a plasma cutter, cut a square hole to remove the old pivot along with the mess of brazing crap, mig weld the new flat plate, grin them flat and nice, then mig weld the new pivot. That would be alot faster but some people don't really want to put any more patches in the car than necessary... j |
