You can try heating them up to try loosening up the rust, but I ended up having to sawzall mine off. I don't think you'll get a dremel into the right place to cut them, the discs are too small.

If you can, try really soaking them in penetrating oil a few times before resorting to cutting. The trouble is that you need to get them partially loosened or cutting is a HUGE pain in the ass. Might help to clean up the threads with a wire brush too. I could get mine partially loose, but not all the way off. By the time I thought about trying a wire brush I had already damaged the end link too much anyway, so I was already ready to replace them.
