If anyone is going to try to cut them off as I did, I used a Dremel tool, with several fiberglass reinforced cut-off wheels from Sears.
Buy at least 2 packs, as they only last 5 minutes each. The wheels are about 1 1/4 inch in diameter, and wear down quickly. I kept them wet with WD40. Don't even bother with the small lightweight wheels.
As they get smaller, use them to cut into the curve nearer the brake surface. You'll need a smaller diameter there to avoid cutting into the hub also. CHECK THE DEPTH FREQUENTLY.
