If you have a compressor try a die grinder. If not you may try a Dremel tool (similar concept but electric) which also has an optional flexible extension kinda like a dentists drill. I have a pretty extensive setup with mine.

I have a straight and a 90 Degree angle grinder. they both have worked into tight places, I also use cutoff wheels, but when I cant I use a set of matco tools carbide tip grinding bits, they will cut through anything and are small and have many assortments of shapes to accomodate anything your going through. I have had that set since 1992 or 93 and still use them today
