Looking to replace my battery tray ..
only the tray. I see loads of info on doing the support and tray . My biggest question how to remove the tray only? The long weld I can deal with but to remove the tray from the stand ... Just keep grinding the tray till it can be separated or cut it down and just weld on top of the smaller "good section left? |

I'd pick up a Harbor Freight spot weld cutter to get the tray out. The HF cutters suck, but are good enough to get a tray out and easier than grinding.
