Hard anodising is a git to remove, it can be done, but the difference between 'normal' and 'hard' anodising is that normal anodising is on the surface of the base material and hard anodising is part of the base material.

This means that when it is removed it will probably lose some of the base material also.

Probably best to not remove it.
