I'd use the sawzall.
Cut of wheels often make crooked cuts and a hack saw is kinda slow.

If you had a large drill stop you could cut it long and then use the stop to cut against for the finish cut. I'd just do it...what could go wrong?  |

That's the problem any collar would have to be split....
probably will just electrical tape the bejeezus out of the scribe line and go for the glory with the Makita

Just put some painters tape around where you want to cut so you know that it is straight. Go For it!  |

A small pipe cutter will yield an extremely accurate cut. With painter's tape of course to protect your paint job.

thats assuming you have one to begin with. and ontop of that, its made to cut copper and aluminum not steel, so i wouldnt want to ruin the blade if you dont know how to use it (you dont just twist the knob as hard as you can, its a gentle process)
But it would be the recommend method if you ummm well are like IZ and cant hold your hands steady.

+1 on the pipe cutter and tape. I used this method for mine and although it took a while, the cut was nice and precise. It also allowed me to file down the insides to the point where my frame plugs fit snug. Talk about getting two birds stoned at once!
