Use a heat gun, a hair dryer might work...

No torch, you risk melting the aluminum.. hard to know when to stop applying heat as there is no warning prior to melting...

One more question

I did get them out, just took a little more umf!! Now I can't find
amount to put back in except to the top of fill hole. Is there a specific amount or is it just a finger test.

Thanks for your help
