yea i have a 4 1/2" angle grinder with some cutting discs, but since i need to cut in a curve around the axle i didn't think that would work to good. maybe i can find a smaller grinder or plasma cutter.

Just cut them off and buy new ones, they are cheap enough to do that.

I would by new ones, we tried to cut mine off with a torch and ended up with a hole in my axle housing.
