removing brackets

what is the easiest way to remove the front stock coil brakets without using a torch. ive done it before by grinding the rivets down and beating it out but that took forever

i can tell you all about removing rivets...removed all the rivets on mine on the crossmembers and body mounts.

if you don't have a torch or can't use one, cut an x through the head of each rivet with a cutting wheel, then use an air hammer w/ a chisel bit to break off each quarter of the head. then use a punch bit to push out the remaining rivet.

you can get an air hammer from a parts store for like $20. i bought a cheap first, and it took a pretty good beating. if you don't have an air supply, use a hammer and a punch set (not nearly as easy as air hammer)
