Cab and radiator mount removal

Hey guys wuts the best way to remove the cab mounts and radiator mounts. Sending my frame out for sandblasting and powdercoating and they said they would melt in the oven if I didn't remove them. Thanks

Yeah, everything that isn't metal will melt. I recall it'll be like 400° for powdercoat to flow.

The old rubber tends to fuse with the metal due to corrosion and compression so it will likely be really stubborn. Do whatever ya gotta do to remove them. It could range from a hammer and pry bar, to a grinder with a cut-off wheel, to a flame wrench.
