Yep. Used the frame as the lever and the wood as a vice. Had two 2X4s running parallel to the 2X6s holding the seat down, then a set of cross bars perpendicular on top that were clamped to minimize twisting other than rotational and upward...those I removed before thinking to take the picture unfortunately...the clamped wood also allowed me too lift upward at the same time while gently twisting after the initial pop...
In fairness I had soaked in evaporust first. Then the last two days PB Blaster just to have some viscosity!
...it was that or the other crappy options.
