The head is large enough that it cannot possibly be pulled through the A-arms no matter what.

I don't recommend the use of either hacksaw or hammer on that rack ($$$!). Better to use the two-socket and threaded rod method to smoothly pull them out. -- Kirbert | If anything is to be accomplished, | some rules must be broken. | - Palm's Postulate References:
