I am currently installing my new set of B/M longitudinal clamshells. Any suggestions on removing the jack post/plates? I have the pass side done, I had to do some patching so I was not too careful in their removal. The driver side is solid, so I would like to remove it surgically. I have drilled out the spot welds I can reach, started prying and came in for lunch. I will post some pics of the progress this week
Thanks Mark |

Hi,
to answer your question...you need to drill out the spot weld, and then use either an air powered chisel of a hand cold chisel to get the welds you cannot get to with the drill... Basically, get the bottom and sides doen, then bend it up and get under the other ones with the chisel... Please Please show pics of the install process. I have never seen pics of the elusive Brad Mayeur kit being installed and I would really like to see the process, at least hold it up and show how it fits and what it looks like... I have heard lots of info on it, just never saw the product of I have never seen how it fits... Do you go over the outer long, or do you remove that? I need to do this and I might either go with the BM kit or the outer clamshell kit that restoration design sells... to me it depends upon which one is easier to install. Rich |
