You want to cut the bottom, it isn't flattened out like the top is.

Cutting off the bottom...can't get any replies

Yes, cut off the bottom. Put a pair of Vise-Grips or 2 on the spring side of the cut to act like a heat sink. The last thing you want to do is heat it up. Use a cutoff wheel and work quickly.
