Shove the torx bit on a power drill, get it spinning till it's really hot, then the plastic melts and the end cap comes off.... then mole grips on the bit that's left after copious WD40..... (Let it cool first :) )

Worked for me....

Cheers for the advice guys..in the end I went the saw route tho in typical style my hacksaw blade broke and I hadn't got a replacement and the other saw was too big for some of the fiddly bits :roll:

Getting there tho
