Removing seat clamp - advice

(1/4) > >>

Swivel:
Hi all

I've been busy on a few bikes but this one has me stumped a bit. It has an integrated Seat Clamp, but I hate it and want to get it removed. Was these welded in like this? I notice on the side a DOT, which looks like a spot weld. Any ideas how to remove it? I realise that it won't be painted underneath but I intend to get the frame painted anyway. I don't want to to f**k it up or damage the frame but I just would like to get rid of this clamp. Let me know...





Many thanks

I've done a few of these but all I can say is some came off easy and some wont budge for example the ones that worked I was able to Dremel off the spot welds on the back of the clap where the bolt sits and with a bit of force with a screw driver of similar it popped off  :daumenhoch: but a couple of others even after removing the little spot welds they would not budge?  :( so Its a case of try it tentively?  ??? just my experience fella someone may know different?

 :) I`ve removed a few similar clamps-not with any finesse (I used a chisel on the spot welds) and just peeled them off.Did no damage other than what wa sleft of the weld had tro be filed/sanded down  & then used a regular clamp.A Dremel should do a much tidier job .

Have you tried twatting it with a hammer?
