wire wheel on grinder id say.
Propably mark the metal when you hit it though and youd have to get the deep scratches out one way.
a wire wheel on a grinder is your best bet.
the wire wont take out the metal unless your going for it.
wear some PPE when working with the FG though

depends how it was done. it it was done right it will be a cow to get out.
but chances are it was just stuck on without etching the paint and wont have stuck.

I sometimes use a blow torch and a scrapper to save dust.

have look from the inside, you might be able to 'pop' it out with a hammer and chissle through the holes that the handle originally came through
Are they definitely fillered? As a proper way of doing it involves a welder and is much harder to remove lol
