dremel with a cut off wheel.. WEAR GOGGLES
clean them up...then re-hinge as mentioned....
hinges really can't be removed once glued.....at least not without doing lots of damage

I agree with Exeter_Acres, Don't bother trying to remove all the parts of the hinge material. If you try digging it out you might compromise the wing and loose the plane later on in flight.

Yep, just cut them off, blend to the wing and aileron edges, and install new hinges of your choice in different positions. Be advised that the previous locations may have had extra wood for the hinges to attach stronger. You may need to change hinge designs.
