How Do You Cut Truck Bed Bolts?

Cutting truck bed bolts can be a challenging task. If you don’t have the right tools, it can be difficult to get the job done.

But with some patience and a bit of know-how, it is possible to cut off truck bed bolts without damaging the surrounding parts of your truck.

The most important thing to do when cutting truck bed bolts is to make sure you have the right tools for the job. You’ll need one or two metal cutters or hacksaws, depending on how thick the bolt is. You’ll also need a drill and drill bits, an angle grinder and safety goggles to protect your eyes from any debris that may be created when cutting.

When you’re ready to start cutting, begin by drilling a pilot hole in the center of the bolt head. This will give you a starting point for cutting through the bolt. Once you have drilled your pilot hole, use your metal cutters or hacksaw to slowly cut through the bolt head until it’s completely severed from its base.

If you’re using an angle grinder instead of metal cutters or hacksaw blades, make sure that you secure it properly with clamps so that it does not vibrate too much while working. Be sure to wear safety goggles as sparks could fly when using this tool.

Conclusion:

Cutting truck bed bolts requires patience and the right tools. Start by drilling a pilot hole in the center of the bolt head before using either metal cutters or hacksaws to slowly cut through it. If using an angle grinder instead, make sure that it’s properly secured with clamps and that safety goggles are worn at all times while cutting.
