Cab Mounts??

I am trying to remove my cab mounts (not the rubber but the actual welded mounts to cab) and have spent a few hours messing with them already. I got the top lip off by drilling holes where the welds are and prying it. Is this the easiest way all the way around the mount or is there anything easier?

I now know they sell the spot weld drill bits but is there an alternative way that anyone else has done here? I know quite a few people have done it.. what did you do?

Thanks a lot.

Spot weld cutter. I make cutters from 3/8th and 1/2 bits.

Pre drill the spots with a 1/8th bit.

Or use a grinder wheel on edge and slowly whittle away at the spots.

Once through the first layer a good screwdriver and hammer will take care of the remaining.

Try removing all these spot welds!
