(T) Cutting Bumpstops...

Hi all, have had apex kit fitted for a while now (40mm drop) and the car is now on the bumpstops, is there anyway i can cut the bumpstops without taking it all apart again as i dont have the equpment to do so (big thanks to kev (Bravo_Owd_Chap on here) and dawn for putting up with me and for all their help fitting the kit :D)

Back ones are easy, jack it up and chop 1" off by hacking between the spring coils.

Fronts are more tricky, you need to cut them without marking the shocker shaft at all. Chop them on the narrow waisted part.

what should i use to cut the stops? (will i need to cut back too with a 40mm drop (full apex kit), can see the fronts are defo resting on the stops but not sure about the rear?)
