How do you cut the stock tank mounts? Ive been using my angle grinder for chopping but it seems if i use it on the ears i might hit the frame.
 
I cut the botton lip off first . then I ground down the spot welds. and was able to pry the mount up enough to finish with cutting and grinding. Just take Your time and You should be able not to hit the frame
I used the angle grinder. our best friend!
 
I did the drill method on the spot welds then a chisel and hammer. Two good whacks and they popped right off!! Fill divots from drilling with some weld and grind/sand down to taste. Good luck
