I used a round 3/16" diameter x 5 1/2"  ROUND hobby file that was a  
little smaller than the fin gaps and attached it to a handheld  
drill.  Worked great.  I can give you the brand name off list if  
you're interested.

P.S. Hope to some day see if it actually reduces the temperature.

Also a hacksaw blade tapped and hand held will do no damage..
