I'm getting ready to start rehabbing the black SSP I adopted via CL. First step will be to remove the rusted hex ash sweep/bar assembly (the bar is bent). I've read up here on how to cut it off, but I'm not a native tool user and I'm confused about exactly where to cut it. Near as I can tell, some folks suggest cutting off both sides of the sweep "handle" on opposite sides of the hex nut, the rest of the sweep should drop back into the bowl for easy removal. But if that's correct, how do I get past the bar? I'm assuming that the hex part I see below the kettle is a nut, but maybe it's really the end of a bolt?
I have a dremel and some metal cutting wheels -- will they do the trick? Thanks![/img]
