I just changed mine Saturday. This car was a biotch. My 91 was easier for some reason.

Anyways, I grinded the heads off BOTH sides. I then worked them back and fourth. I finally got them no problem, but it was a little work. I had the doors off the car. That helps because there isn't any weight on them.
