You should know that this is a difficult task, like many required on these old Fords. I remember the first time I tried it; after 15 minutes I had decided that it was impossible to do. The advice given so far is good; there are no short cuts (save some very rare expensive specialized tools). So, you'll just have to keep at it until you get them out. Keep a stiff upper lip and persevere. (This, and other tasks, are why some people have Chevrolet's.)
