Default Strange Front Brake install

Just recieved my strange front brakes and inventoried everything and read the instructions. What is the best and easiest tool to use to cut the ears off of the spindles? I have a small cutoff wheel but just curious as to what everyone else has used.

I've never done it, but something like an angle grinder with one hell of a cut off wheel sounds like it would work pretty well.

Used a hacksaw when I did my C4HD swap on my thirdgen. On my '98, I'm going to use a sawzall with an aggressive metal blade.
