if you have to ask how to cut it out maybe you shouldn't be even handling a power tool!

You are forgetting a 4"-5" right angle grinder with a cutoff wheel. If you have Harbor Freight near you that is well spent $25! You will be done in no time and you can just switch the wheels to clean it up.

all done




$30 dremhel at walmart and a router bit for $6....
cut through pretty easily... now I just have to sand it down with a wheel to make it smooth.

I'll probably glue some ruber molding around it just to prevent any damage to the FMIC piping should it come off or get bumped.
