Message	I tried this method when removing the battery tray and even with the chisel tip right on the weld, attacking between the pieces of sheet metal, it just ripped one piece or another of the sheet metal and did not separate the weld. not to say others haven't had it work just fine, but if I were doing it again I'd drill them out first.
