    Blow torch and burn it out in the corners as you will never get in them all and as above i also used a angle grinder armed with the 6" knotted wire wheel and a normal 6" wire wheel for the easy to get to area's

    2nd that. knotted wheel on a grinder / blowtorch. Then flatten the seams so it squashes as much out as possible.
