im replacing my core support on my hatch, and i have already started drilling out the little welds on it, and the obvious ones ive already done, but i dont know if i need to drill all the ones i see (god i hope not), or if there are certain ones i need to do in rder to pry this thing off. so if anyone has a daigram or a link to it, please let me know. thanks.

Diagram of what? just try to pull off the old support and if it doesn't come off then you need to keep drilling.

there's alot of weld spots.... They make a special drill bit thing for drilling out spot welds. Not sure what it's called or looks like, I've just head of it. Think Sears has it?

I just recently did mine, you have to drill out every wield.Make pilot holes with a small drill bit then go over it with a bigger bit to go through the entire wield. You will also need a chisel to make life easier when prying it off.

The tool is called a spot weld cutter.
The proper way is to center punch the spot weld and then use the cutter.

I wasn't able to find the but without ordering it, but I have been drilling pilot holes and going back with a bigger bit. I was able to that thing off last night with a sharp cold chisel pry bar. Thanks for the help
