Pry the base Loose?

Rubber mallet hammer that crap out of them.

I still prefer to heat them, skin off the brease and they pop right off after loosing them around the base.

Heat them up.

What I do with all my rams is boil them in a big pot and pull them out and whack them with a rubber hammer. They will pop off in a heartbeat. Just boil them long enough to get really hot.

Hit them hard

I normally do what Chad suggests. I boil them and then beat them with a 2x4. Don't be scared, they won't break. They get hit harder in nature....

Put an oil filter wrench to them, they'll pop!
