Re: 69 K10 From the Field

Spent the morning cleaning up the garage to get the room needed to get moving on this build. Pushed the bed out into the driveway on the bed cart to tear it down and get it stored away in the side yard for later. This is the third bed I have completely tore down. The first one took about 6 hours. Second one took about 3 to 4 hours where I tried to break off the bolts using my impact driver, then drilling out the ones that would spin from the top. This time I went around and tried to break all off with impact driver and the ones that were spinning I tried a different method that worked really well and fast. I used a small chisel and screw driver driven under both sides of the bolt head to put pressure on it. This time I was able to complete the tear down in about 2 hours, that included moving items to side yard and cleaning up the driveway and tools.

Here is a picture of the method i used on the bolt heads that were spinning. After I just used a hammer and dolly to put the metal back and flatten it out.
