Thanks for the follow up advice. I'm just going to dive in with the dremel and cut out what is not needed. I am not planning on taking the truck apart. I did get the pivot screw out and cut of the mount, removing the rest of the mounting casting is a pain, but it can be done. Tried sawing and breaking away but didn't work very well. I don't want to destroy the truck. It was very considerate of MTH to provide a mounting pad, but it seems like they could have given a little more consideration to easy removal of the claw coupler.
