(A friend of mine once described getting a cast iron bath downstairs
with great difficulty, only to find that the scrap merchant who was
collecting it immediately broke it up with a sledge hammer before
putting the now much easier to handle chunks in his truck....)

I removed a cast iron bath from my father in laws years ago. I
heard all about this 'bash it with a hammer' trick, so I tried it.
My ears were still ringing a week later and the bath was unscathed!

Chip away a bit of the porcelain with a cold chisel then drill a hole
in the cast iron. Then wack with hammer. The hole acts to concentrate
the stress of the blow (a 'stress riser') and it will break far more
easily.

Nowwww heeee tellsssss meeeee :-)
