Using the 4 1/2 grinding wheel once again, i cut the tube entirly through one side and 90 percent of the way through the other side, being carful not to cut off the chain guard mount clip.

I gently pushed the tube out ward's to break it the rest of the way out.

Looking a little rough after leveling it, i used the polishing flap wheel to smoothin out the surface.

Much better!
