       Ed, a Dremel or Dremel replica with fibre reinforced cut off wheel 
tool works just great for the tight spots.  Get a few of the cut off wheels 
as you will use them up quickly.  An ordinary hand held grinder with a cut 
off wheel works for those bolts more accessible.  You may find that the part 
of the bolt still remaining in the flange hole you need to use again may be 
hardened and difficult to drill out.  Use hardened drill bits for drilling 
stainless steel to get these holes back in use.

Happy New Year��
