Slide hammer or big hammer. Brute force;)

Bolt, nut, washer, big socket

Bolt, nut, washer, big socket

:agree: Safest, most efficient way.

They can be a pain. Usually it is the bars that sieze in to the center block. If it doesn't shift with a big slide hammer than you need to heat that block, but be very carefull, the fuel tank is right there so you'll need to improvise a heat shield from some sheet steel or similar.
