I just did this actually. Basically the drill ended up working best for me. I ground a flat spot on the top so I could drill it out easier. Just make sure you slowly move up on drill sizes and you should be set. Grinding them off will take forever and I don't see a chisel making quick work either. After that just bolt the new one in and your good. You will want to remove the upper A-arm to do all of this though and a drill press makes the job a ton easier.

I can absolutly see an air chisel taking it out pretty well. I'd still drill though since to me it's easier to control than an air chisel. Odds are this guy already finished at this point though

I removed my whole shock assembly so it was really easy for me to just remove the upper arm and drill it out in the press. If you are trying to do it while its on the car then the chisel is probably the best option.
