I heard that after grinding the heads off a air chisel with a punch bit works great and very fast. I tried it by hand but without holding the upper down it just bounced, maybe ratchet strap it down and hit it. Or just take it off, it's only 2 nuts and then the brake line holder's bolt.

Thanks Benoit
