Are you running with sway-a-ways? If you are you need to remove the adjuster grub screw then spin the bars 180 deg

round. Then you will find another grub screw. Remove this and they will all but fall out.

There are i think a locking screw on each trailing arm just like the ones in the center unlock these and tap arms off.

Did you remove the trailing arms? There sholdn't be anything keeping them from sliding right out if you did...
