Don't be surprised if you have to use a cold chisel and hammer in a few spots to finish severing whatever needs severing.

Have fun!

Dan, thank you so much for the help!

The issue with the cut off is the space available. Instead, used a hand saw and a dead blow.

The Harbor Freight saw is already wearing out. The latch for the blades broke and the rubber boot is all torn up. But, paid under $20.
