Trans crossmember removal

[Jayred]

I couldn't find a definitive answer in previous posts but how do you get the sob out without taking a torch to it? The m f'er is in there good and i can't twist it out. I have to reuse it so I can't destroy it. I can't slide it forward enough for my new swapped thm350 because of some frame rivets, so my mount is an inch forward from the holes in the cross member. If I can remove the cross member and notch out room to go around the rivets in the top forward part on each side it'll clear.
