a 4" angle grinder with a "flexovit" stainless disk dude... worst case, if you're a consumer, a 40$ one at bunnings, and a 4$ disk, then take it back for a refund afterwards.

Cheers man, was hoping not to buy an angle grinder, as the missus is complaining I have to much crap.. Oh well.

Looks like I will have to go to bunnings this weekend and see what I can afford! Cheers mate!

Hey if you don't mind trekking to East Tamaki, you can use one the angle grinders at my work some time after hours. Not too keen for the responsibility of doing the job though, I made a mess of it last time :)

Grinder is the best way, takes a couple of minutes - just make sure the its not under pressure or you might get a face full of old ale.  

Worst case stop in at pretty much any garage or small engineering workshop and ask them to cut it off, might cost you a dozen beers.  5 marine workshops on Beaumont street in Auckland city would do it.  If you go there ask them to fit a spigot for you at the same time :p

Cheers mate, will see if i can get my hands on a grinder and give it a go. Thats one thing about homebrewing, it forces you to learn new things. Cheers mate!
