wire wheel

I couldn't get a wire wheel on my grinder in the seam deep enough to get it all cleaned out. Maybe if I could find one that wasn't so thick. I got suggestions on here ranging from using a hack saw blade to sand paper by hand, to carefully slipping a pneumatic cut-off wheel in the seam and working your way along to grind it out.
I actually haven't made time to get back out and try any of those solutions.
