K-member hitting header problem.

I put the headers on and it wasnt hitting K-member at all. After i went to the muffler shop to have them screw with the ORY. they did some bending and now its hitting. What is the best tool to use to cut a piece of the k-member off without taking off the header?

i took it to a muffler shop and they blow torched the k-member down .. they said at a certain heat it would melt the composite metal of the k-member but not the steel of the header.. worked perfect

Damn, just noticed i put it in the wrong forum.. oops. I guess the best bet is to take it back to teh muffler shop and have them cut it with a torch?
