M101A3 Side Rack Fitment issue

[Metternacht]

Ok, I have searched and searched, I know I read on here somewhere that someone had the same problem I am having. I just got a new M101A3 and the side rails just will not come out. I had to lever and partially disassemble one rack to get it out. It looks like the front and rear stake pockets are too small and someone pounded the rails into the sockets. Anyone else have this issue? any easy fixes?

Its dark here now so I will try and take pics tomorrow to illustrate what I mean.

Thanks for help or pointing me in the direction of the other thread.

a high lift jack works well, just don't break the wood

I used wd40 on mine. Was ok after that.

I have a new (VME Aug 0 101A3 and I thought I had a problem but my bows are metal so I just took the Dremel to them. They fit great now.
