I would go with a hacksaw. Just be sure to clamp it down good

This is what I had did in the pass. You have to take the head off first. Then start cutting it little bit at a time and rotate it being careful not to cut the wires. Once done, you have to cut the wires to length and install new wire clips. Also clean up the inside of the shaft were you had cut it with a file.
