How would you guys get this loose?

Loosen the nut, and install another nut or two to protect the threads and buzz it with an air chisel with a punch bit and the bolts will pop out easily. The splines are not that deep. Just did this on an original '66 GTO that had NEVER had the arms off since new. Piece of cake. You don't even need a straight shot. The vibration will buzz it out.
