Exclamation 351w frame towers

hey all, went out to get some frame towers today and noticed they don't just have bolts and nuts holding them in, they have bloody riveted studs in them, and of course this is in a junkyard where you pull the parts yourself and can only take so many kinds of tools in. So i'm wondering whats the best fastest simplest way to cut those studs out, if possible using none power tools or if i have to use a power tool, what should i use to get these things out!


Thanks!!

Give me ya ideas and what ya'll have done lol

A torch. No electric needed

Otherwise, a center-punch and a cordless drill. Just bring some spare batteries ...
