For me the following was a huge challenge, getting the last two remaining floor plates out. They were held in by a multitude of slotted round headed screws. They were screwed into a threaded hole. So there wasn’t even the option of removing a nut. Naturally almost ever single one would not thread out. So I had to use the Zip disk and carefully cut each out and then chisel off the head all the while trying my best to not cut into the floor plate. This was all done while lying on my side inside the hull. There was also about 26 7/16 bolts that passed through the floor, hull mounts and the frame. Each of these also had the heads cut off and punched through.

Once the hill is off the frame, I’ll have to go back and remove the remains of each bolt and rethread the holes.
