So, I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to cut the rear cab supports to place the new ones in there. What tool to use?

Spotweld cutter

The spot welds are one thing, but what about cutting the actual cab support. I don't seem to have anything that will reach to cut the whole thing so I can fit the new one.

Hmm... I'll have to see if I can fit my die grinder in there by chopping it up.

A hacking I must go
