in my line of work i have to remove bearing races that have almost zero access to i have to cut them out in pieces. for this job i have a dremel with a flexible shaft and on the end of the shaft i use "reinforced" cut-off wheels. everybody knows how hard bearing races are well these wheels go through them like butter so they would make short work of those lug nuts and studs. the flexible shaft allows access to places a regular grinder can't get to. cutting the brake shoe "hold downs" always works for me and replacement are cheap!
