    How many bolts did you take out? 6 or 8?

    If there are really none left, dont hit it with a hammer use a bit of wood, a sturdy log is best.

                    so when the other bolts are out smack it straight down? that should work?

                    never tried that stuff.... yeh they keep the good stuff for themselves
