Use a spot weld drill:

Open in new window


1. Centre Punch and Spotweld Drill
2. Drill through the first layer
3. Remove first Layer

The spot weld drill is basically a flat cutter with a tiny centre drill.

It can be hard to access all of the spotwelds for the battery tray. You may need a combination of drilling and cutting.

I used a cold chisel and a hammer but did leave one small split in the steel.

Yeah I was having a look at it this morning and its an odd shaped bastard! Removing it properly with a spot weld tool would take ages.

done it a few times, i just cut off the tray and leave the flat parts still spot welded on

that spot weld drill bit would be much neater!

but motor would have to be out to get to one area of them
