From there, air hammer + punch bit. More air pressure = better. You'd be surprised how much more kick it has at 150 psi vs 90 psi. If you don't have an air hammer, it's worth buying one just for this.
I'll be super excited to see the Industrial Chassis kit install! Thanks for sharing progress!

Thanks for the tips yossarian ......
Yes was originally planning on just drilling heads off then whacking with a chisel end of a crowbar ..... might go ahead and just buy a air impact hammer as well .....
Really want to try and keep the pull-handle parking brake ...... but will have to see .....
Yeah the IC kit excited to get in and then move on to other stuff ...... shouldn't be too big a deal ... but taken me much longer to get this far so we will see ....
