Re: Rocker replacement 101

Next I bend the rocker up and down untill it falls off. You could just cut it off with the cut off wheel but I hate sparks in my face Then I slice the remaining sectiones into small pieces before trying to remove them.
I like to do it this way because as a whole the rocker is a strong piece that is spot welded on in alot of areas. But as small pieces their is only one or two spot welds per piece and this makes it almost fall off with very little effert. Just be carefull not to cut too deep or you may end up chopping into good metal causeing alot more work later. So once it is sliced I use the screw driver/pry bar to remove the pieces.
Also once the main rocker is out of the way you can see the spot welds better and get to each one with less effert. As you can see it pry's off with ease.
