Access is limited with a grinder in this area and had to use a junior hacksaw to finish the last quarter on both cuts. If you can split the joint before you cut then you can unbolt the back box to cut the flange on this side so much easier. However the bolts are a PITA to take out due to corrosion and I ended up shearing one. So left it in situ and went the hacksaw route.
Oh man, that bit is perfect! Thanks for posting.
