Amen brother. I got one side off but I'm planning to rent a cutting wheel tomorrow for the other one. It'll be great to get the toughest part done first.
Stock upper rear shock mount. Punched for pilot holes.
killing 3 sizes of drill bits to get this far.
Now the hard part, wiggling the hell out of it. My chisel and mini sledge were not effective. I just about cried with joy when the second rivet came off.
Better drill bits are in order.
I underbody sprayed the scuffs made by the removal to avoid rust later.
