grind off most of the mount, tab or guide to just above the tubing then file the rest down by hand.

the last two (and only) times i have done it i have left a wee bit of the mount there rather than weeken the tube. it can look a bit ugly but nothing that isnt fixed with a touch of paint.

ali has the idea.

Personally i say leave the mounts there. IF you EVER sell, it would be a plus. you get used to them there- trust me.
