The gaurds are brazed at the front where they meet the grill (top and bottom), don't be tempted to break the welds if you intend putting it back together.

Or one of these....
On a more serious note you may encounter a few stuck screws which may need a nut welded to them for removal.

If you are going to go to the trouble of welding a nut to the srew if stuffed so you may as well just drill the heads off . use a drill bit bigger than the tread and dont go to far . The head will fall off and once the hinge is off there is enought thread left to swist out with pliers .

James, I know it is Sataday arvo and you are probably on your second pipe
but did you look at the link?
this is the ultimate tool for removing things that don't want to be removed
Peter.
PS and you thought I was the ultimate tool

Is that thing air opperated or something???? How does it work? I've never even seen one of those things before. surely your not expected to turn the handel and push on it or bang it on the end with a hammer at the same time? If so, wouldn't a normal old impact driver be more useful, and a fair bit cheaper....that's the only way I got my doors off.

Yes, no, easy, no, yes
It goes in a pnumatic air hammer like this,

you turn down the air to the gun, apply a small amount of force with the handle, and the air hammer breaks the thread free and you undo the screw, the screw is in perfect condition and can be reused
this week I removed every hinge screw (front and back) on a zook in under 5 mins

OK so i suck at the internet, it was a picture of a 9" grinder.
All body panels WANT to be removed, or so the voices in my head tell me.
Jim the tool man.

True D_F, but like all good tools, once you have it, you have it for life.
It only hurts when you pay for it, after that it is all pleasure.
