How To Remove Spot Welds
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2022
- In this video I discuss options for removing spot welds used in autobody repair. Most of the tools used are common tools that most autobody repair techs already own. I'll show procedures that even the person working at home can use to repair their own vehicles.
This is 5th video on how to remove spot welds; so far this is the best video I have seen.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video sir, I am taking my first stab at replacing something as large as a radiator core support on a fixer upper car. Your info is very helpful!
Good luck with your project and thanks for watching
Nice tips and tricks once again. I suggest making a video about panel preparation for welding. Being a used or new panel.
Good idea. Thanks for watching
Subscribed. Did you ever do a video on PPE and safety or what to be wary of in the shop, accidents etc you’ve seen over the years etc. always nice to learn from other peoples mistakes rather than your own 😬Thanks.
Thanks for watching and for subscribing. I keep a running list of video ideas and PPE is on that list. Thanks for your comment

Thanks once again. One day if you clip a lapel mic on your shirt you will capture clearer audio without the echo of the room. cheers from Australia
Roger that on the mic. Just something I haven’t gotten around to yet. Thanks for watching
I like the whole saw but I also made me a pickle fork from a flat peace of steel stock
My Urag very rusty so welds fall apart. I can put back with glue made by cousin in next village. He’s smart so trust him
I always used a old chef's knife to cut the welds after grinding
Good tip. Thanks for watching
Alloys used on vehicle today have come a long way as fuel mileage and pounds per horse power dictate the performance. They want high ratings in crash test as well, but now it gets technical.
I a real world not long ago, say a 1976 Camaro had a door guard beam in the door that looks like something used on the interstate for crossing traffic. It was high strength steel and weighed 42 pounds. Today, you are luck if a short length of 1 1/2" exhaust pipe in there as now they depend on 16 air bags to deploy for 6 minutes while rolling down a steep embankment. These $57k cars get crushed and bent like a beer can at a college dorm party! Animal house dudes!
So measure the subframe to see how har it is bent, add the other damage and broken parts. Add up the labor and new materials & a quick search for "LKQ" parts and total the car because it is $3,400 dollars from scrap. Sold at auction and air bags are filled with newspaper, glued together, torch comes out, hydraulic jacks & chains pull it close, 1/2" of fiberglass bondo covered by more filler, some new glass and sold on a lot somewhere for $32k... One heck of a bargain. Or is it. SIR light bulb is removed, ABS acts funny and left headlamp seems high but won't adjust down while few banks will float a loan to a medium income family with 810 credit rating, but the "Buy Here, Pay Here" lot found someone to carry the loan with the title marked "Salvaged" no problem until one day it's raining after a long dry spell, oil dripping from every 3rd vehicle floats on top of the pavement & they get hit from behind. Then up the lift it goes with repair order in tool box and while you remove the $630 rear bumper cover, you notice this silver car has "Red" floor pans 3/4 are red, 1 black and subframe has holes in them large enough for hooks from a chain that are torn, seam sealer is missing or wiped on with finger like bad bathroom tile job and you get this feeling in you gut when the "Yellow" salvage yard marker says it's a 2019 yet the ticket ticket and door sticker say it's a 2020 Lexus and many wires are hanging there with crimped butt connectors and not even the shrink and glue type. Now you have a headache, snap a few photos, yell at two guys you have worked with for 7 years and show them. Now it's time to find the shop manger to hold a 14 minute show and tell.
You repair the cars, you don't get the full story or the titles copy as the yellow marker shows TN on one part and NJ on three others. You are done, there goes the entire day plus no one made any money as two hours were lost. Yes, happens everyday.

Unfortunately there’s a lot of truth in that.
