Same here. Pipe wrench on the part coming off, adjustable or right size wrench on the flats on the the rack. Line the wrenches up so they are a little off angle from each other and squeeze them together with your hands to loosen. No load on the rack, works while the car is on jack stands for the lift-less folks, tremendous torque and no slip and bust a knuckle or room to swing the BFH issues.
