All I can offer is what is in this thread. Mugrace72's advice pretty much covers your options. If it all goes to shite and you need to break the plates out just use a punch straight down on them. That is not a great option, sucks really, but it broke out on me while I was working on it so I had no choice. You do have to be able to get in there to put them back and that's a whole 'nother P.I.A.
