I use the same method with the cutoff wheel and air hammer as you do. Still sucks though

I haven't used one yet, but after all my research, I think I will try one in the near future. Just my $.02.
Thanks for the input, I don't know much about the different posi designs so it definitely helps to hear about the different options.

Yeah, it's amazing how many rivets they really used. I think I counted 12 in the trailing arm crossmember alone!

Ok, looks like I'm going to have to start researching this. I guess I need to learn a little bit more about rear diffs
