are you using any type of solvent(pb blaster, kroil) and some heat and you should be able to pop them things out...

 

I had Kroil all over them, and a hydro press. They soaking tonight, gonna try again tomorrow

 

When I did mine it took me with a hand press twistin for all I was worth and at the same time the kid with an air chisel goin on them with the occasional BFH just for good measure and they did eventually come lose. That's why i always tell guys that when they put the new ones in, Smear em with anti-seize so you don't have to go through this the next time.

 

I agree, but unfortnatly anti seeze is not everyones vocab or tool box
