you bend the part that run parallel to the threaded part and points vertical. i used a drift and hammer. bend that back enough to allow the whole threaded bolt to pop out. when reassembling bend back to original position with a big set of channel lock pliers.

just did this last weekend...its all too familiar. do a search under my name and you'll see my account of the job.
