Hey all i need some help/advice on how to remove the battery tray in my ute any info is much appreciated THANX Appsy1

cut it out.

or drill out the spot welds

Use a spot weld drill:




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.

Let us know how you go with this one, I was going to tackle it this weekend but I'll wait to hear how your go.

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

just cut the thing off where you can then grind off whats left

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.

Just do what PIGDOG says, it would be quick and easy. Thats what I will do with mine.

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
