Remodeling my second floor bathroom will involve removing a large cast
iron tub. The tub is probably much too large and heavy to be removed
on one piece and will have to be broken up into small pieces.

How do I do that? Is cast iron brittle and easy to fracture with a
heavy hammer? Should I score the tub with a diamond saw before I
start to beat on it? Is there a danger of the stucco exterior
cracking as the result of my hammering??

TIA

These folks are overstating the dangers of breaking this up.


Not true. Read my other post.
