John,
Carefully remove cans and coils from set making note of connections.
Take into garage/shed/yard/garden.
Select large lump hammer and flatten completely, then put into bin.
Go indoors and have a drink and a smoke.
Post request for spare parts.
This methodology cuts out all the frustration associated with trying to free them.
Alternatively gentle heat usually frees them. The snag is getting the heat to the slugs without disturbing the wax which holds the coils together. A screwdriver and a soldering iron on the blade often works.
Are they round or square? I've got a scrap P75 or 76 - can't remember which still has them fitted I think.
Good luck.
Alan
