Bam....this is the way. I was amazed at how easy it is. The trick is to get the correct size channel locks that will allow you to leverage on the block and pry them out. At least on BBC I even knocked a few into the block and it was really easy to fish them back out. They don't go far and you can still get the locks on them and rotate them out. I would not waste your time trying any other way!!!
