I alomost did something stupid when I tried to remove the braze-ons. I think the best way is to use hand tools wherever possible. How about using a hacksaw to cut off the brazeon roughly, still leaving some of it behind and then grinding the rest using a hand file? However if you are good with powertools then go for it.
