Otherwise that would be metal to dremel down- might take awhile unless you have some tip that cuts metal well.

I did a solo DIY today - swapped my front H&R Coilovers for Bilstein PSS9 Coilovers (will do the rears tomorrow as I only had a few hours to do it). Kind of silly (I should've known) but, while I've done many suspension changes on my own, this was the first time I used power tools (thanks so much the_beastmaster 
) - OMG!, 
it's so much easier! 
Stupid me, now I know......after all these times Bryan has been telling me. 
Eastsidemini stopped by to borrow my belt tensioner tool and was telling me about his stripped oil plug. I lent him my Craftsman round bolt removal sockets so I hoped they worked!

I did have a slight delay as the H&R Coilovers' shock was snuggly seated and I had to rubber mallet it out. Whack-whack-whack...but everything else went smoothly. Seriously though....thanks again for the power tools.
