REMOVING SPOT WELD’
The actual side panel removal requires the
drilling out of spot welds which attach the side panel to
other panels of the cab. Sheet metal drill bits should be
used. These are drill bits, the ends of which have been
ground for this special purpose. An example of a sheet
metal drill bit as compared to a regular drill bit is shown
in Fig. 37. When spot welds have been removed, a
pneumatic chisel is then used to open seams which have
been clinched together.
