Can use either a dremel or a grinder. Which ever you have available will work, the dremel will just take longer.

Or if you're really desperate use a metal file, and I mean really desperate for this one.

Why not use a thin wheel spacer?

That is a hell of an idea! thanx for the response mufflerboy.

Use a hand held grinder to do it...you'll also need wheel spacers. If you don't use wheel spacers, you're gonna have to grind down a LOT more.
