Thanks everyone for the advice, I think I may try the hacksaw route. It really stinks being in an away from home in an apartment haha no garage, no random tools from your basement, but tons of strange looks.

Ran into my Indy mechanic when out at dinner tonight. Told him your dilemma and what I recommended, he said he'd do exactly the same thing, although he'd use a power/air-tool cutter vice a hacksaw because he has a shop and has those tools readily available. Give the hacksaw cut a shot and report back how you it worked out for you.
