This is an aluminum spacer that was under my front dérailleur. I can't bend it with pliers, so how the F do I get it off? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Do you want it to survive the process?

If not, a rotary tool with a cutting wheel would make quick work of it...

it just needs to go. i'm not sure how my old bike shop guy even got it on! i'm going to try and score the back then bend it. if that doesn't work i'll be looking for someone with a dremel.

That must be really irritating when you ride. RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE. Just what these guys said, take a cutting wheel to it (dremel) and cut deep enough to bend it by hand.

Hacksaw.

Wrap the seat tube in something to keep from accidentally hurting the finish, then take a hacksaw to it. You should only have to go about a third or half way before you can break it with some pliers.
