Default Breaking Cast-Iron Bath

Stephen Mawson wrote:
I'm replacing a cast-iron bath (enamel in poor condition) with an acrylic
one. The present bath has walls along both ends and the far side so it will
need to be broken up to get it out, especially as I hope to preserve the
wall tiles above it. I recall from many years ago that I had great trouble
breaking a cast-iron bath -- a sledge hammer just bounced off it.
Does anyone have any advice -- apart of course from the angle-grinder.
(Actually, would that be a possibility? Slot cut in the edge of the bath,
then cold chisel to split?)

ear defenders, sledge, and hit it as if your life depended on it.

once its started, its easier
