Re: rocker panels.........

Yes the spot welds are all that holds 'em on. And no, they won't just fall off, some prying, cussing and chiseling is required to get them off. I don't know of a write up.

Yeah what he said.

basically drill out all the spots welds with a spot weld cutter - try to pry it off and find the spot welds that you missed, and the ones that you didn't cut "centered" re-drill/repeat and continue till the rocker comes off.

Try not to damage anything else by bending and prying
