deuce tool box removal.

[demonhunter77]

IM taking my deuce apart for Modding. I don't have a cutting torch. So i an having to wrench off old bolts. Anyone got an easy way to remove the drivers side tool box without destroying the mount. I am not going to use it anymore. Is it even worth trying to save for selling or trade?

use 6 point sockets or wrench that fits the heads real good and tighten them to twist them off. if room use 1/2" impact on one side.

If the bolts and nuts are mildly rusted you may want to try a 14MM wrench. It's slightly smaller than the the 9/16. Also a mixture of acetone and ATF (50/50) makes a great penetrant.

Somebody may be interested in the toolbox and/or mount. Put it in "Pay it Forward" and get rid of it just for postage.

You also can drill through the head of the bolts with a bit the same size as the threads. Nothing is usually easy to remove when it come to the body bolts and nuts, they're usually rusted unless it's a southwestern truck.

Use a cut off disk

Somewhere I have a small bolt cutter. It goes around the nut, and has a metal chissel tip that you crank in to split the nut. If the nut is accessible, old fashioned bolt cutter will split the nut.

I think it was called a nut splitter.

A very thin cutting disc on a 4 inch angle grinder works good. You have to take the guard off so be very careful or you'll end up like my buddy "three finger Jim".

I just finished mine this morning, angle grinder + cut off wheel + air ratchet.
