All good advice, with the exception of what's stated above...
Files do not make good chisels, as they are simply too damn hard to be of any use in this application. If you do decide to use a chisel, be smart enough to wear heavy leather gloves, leather sleeves, impact resistant safety gogles, or a full face shield. Those hardened bits of chisel will most certainly fly like shrapnel. STAY SAFE!
