How to break heads loose?

I decided to try this method first since it seemed to be the least traumatic to the heads, and it worked fine. Both heads were loose within 2 minutes. I had soaked it with WD40 this morning which probably helped. Working on both ends freed them quickly.

Thanks to all for the replies.
