I have heard a million different stories on how to do it so I decided to create this topic and try get a step by step guide put together from everyone who has done it.

STAINLESS again plz You've changed man....

Get 1mm grinder blade in between the bracket and guard lip where they are spotwelded and cut through the weld. Repeat. Do not drill the spot welds.The lip is approx 20mm, this gives the roller 20mm of leaverage. Once drilled you are left with maybe 5mm. This is fail because the roller will roll the 20mm areas and where its 5mm it wont move. This will leave 2 very noticable dints on the outside right where the spotwelds were.
