How do I cut this part?

Hi,
I need to cut this part in half at the place indicated with red circles.
I can't seem to create a plane or a surface in the right spot to do so and would appreciate some suggestions.

Extend the two lines in the sketch beyond the part surfaces. Extrude just those two lines into a surface that passes completely through the part on both sides and use the slice feature to split it in half.

Depends what you mean by 'cut'
Not sure where you want the cut but have a look at this to see if it helps

Thank you MDesign. As usual, it's easy once you know how to do it. Worked great.
