This is my first post here so be gentle with me. I just ordered replacement trunk hinge pivots from JWest (last night actually) and since it is a beautiful day today I thought I would remove the old, wallowed out pivots. Since I haven't received them yet I am assuming I just need to drill out the spot welds. Anybody have any suggestions?

I like to use a cutoff wheel. Cut away the bracket and then use the edge of the wheel to carefully thin the metal at the spotwelds until it peels away. It is best not to cut through the metal behind.
Knowing the location for placement is not critical with my kit, as you can drill the mounting holes with everything in place and the trunk lid shut, to ensure perfect alignment the first time out. I'll try to hurry on your kit (between shifters)! |
