Rear Floor pan removal

[randy73]

I am removing the Floor pan and hit a couple of snags.

1) there are 3 bolts on the middle hump and 2 go through the passenger side pan, I have not had a chance to look underneath. But, are these for the rear tranny mount?

2) What is the best method to break the weld seams along the front corner, nearest the door?
I have a weld running right where in the area shaped like a bowl.

1) The bolt holes on the tunnel are likely for the seat belts. The trans mount bolts to a removable part on the cross member that runs from one side of the car to the other.

2) I'm not quite sure which part you're talking about. If it's a spot weld just drill it out - or you can use a spherical burr on a Dremel tool if space is tight.

The bolts point down and go through a 'L' shape bracket and are located right at the back edge of where the floor pans meet.

It is not a spot weld, it is an inch long weld, right where the pan turns up.

And thanks for the help

I am so sorry I just can't see it  !
