Auto trans crossmember removal?

I was looking at the turbo 400 atuo trans crossmember I'm getting ready to remove, after removing the 4 bolts how do you get the sucker out from between the frame? Am I missing something here? Thanks for any help.

Or, just kick one end of it with your boot toward the back of the truck.

Re: Auto trans crossmember removal?

The last time I had mine out I torched off the upper "wings" of the crossmember to aid in its re-installation/future removal. I always thought 8 bolts was a little overkill.
