Removing auto lift anchor bolts

[Rod N]

Any trick to removing the anchor bolts for my lift?
I'm moving so I'm removing the lift.
Just go at it with my angle grinder?
Porcelain floor, so I don't want to damage it.
Thanks
Rod

I'd probably use a sawzall with a carbide blade. Maybe a piece of sheet metal around it to protect the floor?

Do the carbides protrude out the sides like a circular carbide?

Yes

I need to have them flush with the floor when I am done.

I dont see that as being a problem. Bend the blade to run against the floor and they'll get cut flush

Angle grinder.

Cut a bolt size hole in a piece of sheet metal to protect the floor from the angle grinder, and go slow.

If they are wedge anchors and the holes were drilled all the way through the floor during installation they can usually be driven flush or below and the hole patched in with a patching cement.

Solid floor with living quarters below. No Tap tap tap
I think I'll cut them with the angle grinder and then grind them flush.
