I used a cutoff wheel and a little bit with a jigsaw. Cleaned up rough edges with a dremel.

Jigsaw. Much faster and cleaner than a grinder. Put tape on the feet so you don't scratch the **** out of your paint though.

i taped off area to cut with scotch tape. put my cut line on the tape. used a variable speed jig saw with the finest metal blade i could find. i let it go slow and let the blade do all the work. smooth as silk.
