You wont even need a small hammer to move the hoop if you get the welds drilled out. I have one of those fancy [rolling] truck tools spot weld driller outer thingy[ about $400 something] and it stays in the box most of the time I use a HF double ended drill bit[1/8] and also a HF drill bit that has many sizes on it some call it a christmas tree bit. I think it works as well as the spot weld cutter. After you drill out the hoop welds I have a Steck brand tool that is called a spot weld splitter and I run it down in there but if your dead on with the centering of the drill bits you may not even need it. The best test to try before this action is to put in the vent glass and check its fit. Now sometimes on some doors you could push forward on the hoop with a portopower. Place one end at the bottom back like where the lock knob would be and the other end up by the top of where the vent glass would be and give it a push That will tighten the gap by the A pillar[more to the top] and also open the b pillar and cab corner gap. Good luck if I can help holler. Jim
