Default Ever Cut Out Subframes? Weld In

I have to remove my driver side weld in BMR subframe. I already cut off the front..but the rear...the welds in a tight spot. I used a cutting wheel to do the front..but i cant fit the disk in the spot the welds in at the rear. Any suggestions. The bead i have to cut in the rears maybe an inch long.

can you use a bigger wheel? Do you have a pic of the area? ( I never seen a welded subframe on a T/A yet

Haha, you said subframes, I thought you were talking about the real subframes up front

I would try a dremel for the last part. I saw someone post here about completely taking them off with a dremel, but that seems like a hassle.

Last winter I used a Sawzall and a pack of heavy duty blades to cut out my GW SFCs.

I ended up getting a smaller cutting disc...and used an air tool. Got it out tonight. Thanks for the suggestions.
