Belanger header pickle removal help

[FSAconcepts]

Man I really didnt think this was going to be an issue taking these out but they are in there. I headed them up with my torch trying to bend them back and forth to snap it at the base but no luck. I would put it on my mill but I don't think I have a tool to get to the base down there. How have others done this. thanks in advance!

If you can get vise-grips or channel-locks around them, I would think they would snap loose at ambient easier than heated. Maybe a pipe, or socket on a 1/2" extension that matches the pickle OD would provide better leverage.
