it's not difficult, you need an angle grinder, some masking tape, a vice, some wood and a cloth(not to mention goggles) use wood and cloth in vice to carefully grip your masked off hub(spray from grinder will mark any finish on said hub), with a thin(and i mean thin) cutting disk(you will need a few but they are cheap) proceed to cut through the cogs being carefull to not cut into the screw thread, or into the hub, and not in one go or it will get too hot and damage the finish. Experience and patience are important. use both hands on the grinder and use a 125mm grinder not a big stupid 230mm or something. I've done it twice now and it's a pain in the arse but it's nice to keep the hubs.

sounds like a good job for the dremel the cutting discs are so pricise n with the flexy shaft would be very easy
think dissasemble freewheel idea then re lace is the best option though

TwoBobRob:
Yip.  Dremel for sure.  Othwise, if you ask for a cutting disc suitable for stainless steel, you'll get a 1mm thick disc. They're lovely to use and cut very well indeed. Far better than a standard cutting disc   ;)
