Trying to get the windshield frame off a '73 CJ5... Removed the hinge screws in the frame that would come out and drilled out the rest. It seems to be welded on.. What am I missing?

Paint perhaps?
I doubt any of it is welded. Rust can be a biiiiiig issue with CJ hinges. Could you take a picture or two and post up? That would probably help. |

Thanks for the info... I won't hesitate to use a 3 pound "persuader" and perhaps a chisel now... I'll take the camera to the shop and snap a few...

Got a plastic covered dead blow hammer?
That might do the trick with a little less damage.  Pics would be good. |

the hinges on my tj had some kind of industrial strength sticker/gasket crap that was pretty tenacious.

The older hinges were installed prior to painting, metal on metal. I would assume rust is the issue and or lots of layers of paint
Edit: or someone welded it on because it vibrated to much for their liking, seen it before Edited by 78CJ - 01 February 2010 at 3:37am |

Those long tangs on the hinge that run up the side of the frame were the problem.. There were two more bolts on each side! Saw them when I looked at some new hinges. Pulled the bolts, sprayed on a little penetrant, and encouraged the frame to move with a cole chisel and a 2 pound ball peen hammer... After I drove the chisel a few inches up the hinge tang on each side... The frame came right off!
