Having difficulties using a DeWalt sawzall with a five-inch metal blade on the rear bushing. Have the rubber and center piece out. But I'm being too cautious with my sawzalling as I don't want to slice into the subframe cutting out the shell.

I would really prefer not to have to drop the subframe. I bought a tranny jack (the type that's not Falcon's preferred style of intimate contact) from Harbor Stank so I can drop it I have to. But I'd really rather not.

Thoughts?

Small cutoff wheel on a dremel get in there?

It's blind faith. Make 3 cuts in the outer shell. One bottom dead center, the other 2 in the 4 o:clock and 8 o:clock positions. Once you think you're cut almost all the way through. Take a muffler inside cutting tool and beat the outer shell out. Position the tool at the cuts you made.

Pic of tool. It's for an air chisel, but will work with a hammer.

It's best to work from the front of the hole for removing and installing.

I watched the shop where my car's at do a G37 today. Pretty much did the same cuts and then he used a big chisel to beat the outer shell out. He had the damn thing out in about fifteen minutes. Of course he had the car on a four post lift though.

Was he using a full-size Sawzall or one of the mini-job saber saws?
