Seems like you might need to order the "Clutch Fork-to-Master Cylinder Separation Tool." |

If there is even the slightest need for that cable drive off the end of my Dremel I'll happily get that... and then offer to check ERA Chas' prostate with it.  |

Did someone confirm that the Dremel wheel will actually cut it? I have never seen such hardened steel. I had to have a machine shop chop off the end and reposition the slave rod hole and they even squealed about how hard it was to cut and drill.

A Dremel with a diamond tip might get the job done too. There are a lot of different sizes and shapes for just about anything. I got a 50 piece set from Harbor Freight a while back for under $20. Might be easier than a cut off wheel.

I see that Dremel sells a diamond studded wheel, but I'm going to try the reinforced ones first. They also sell tungsten carbide stuff. |

Had you been thinking you would have added something to the effect that " while the helmet would not fit, the point on the top is appropriate." |

I have heard that putting super glue on the cutoff disks makes them less likely to break. May want to give that a try as well.

Dremel has these new fiberglass-reinforced cutoff disks that they say are designed for hardened steel, so I picked up a 20 pack of them. They're made out of depleted uranium or the like  I'll probably start the heavy lifting tomorrow or this weekend, so I'll let you know. I also picked up a tungsten carbide blade as well -- Dremel says it's also suitable for cutting hardened steel. |

Well That Was Easy...
I didn't need the 20 pack of the depleted uranium disks. One did the trick astonishingly well. It was like using a dang plasma cutter. Here, I took a shot 30 seconds (maybe less) in to the cut. The second shot is of the corner entirely removed.

Can you make it look a little nicer? You'll never make it as a sushi chef.

Seriously, take the sharp edges off and round the corners. You don't want cracks to begin. Put a tootsie roll on the Dremel or use the flat face of the cutoff wheel if you have to.
