Definitely if the tabs are older and the hinge pin is siezed, you won't have much luck getting it out. There is just too much surface area and it is a pretty soft stainless steel. I've tried that, and gave up long before causing a lot of damage. I was actually doing the opposite of the thread, trying to paint the tabs. I ended up just masking off the transom of the boat, sanding/grinding/sandblasting the tab down, repriming and painting on the boat.
