I did the unpleasant, tedious saw-through-the-bolt thing a
number of years ago. You can buy a little plastic handle that clamps on to
one end of the hacksaw blade. That makes it a bit easier. Also, be sure to
use the highest quality blades, for example a bi-metal type.
And make sure to
slather anti-seize all over the new bolt!
