I don't understand the problem. I have been quickly removing the claw from MTH trucks for years, and don't seem to have any trouble. First I tear-off that sheet metal coupler operating stuff, then I break-off the die cast side ears with a strong pair of pliers. Lastly I cut cut-off the remaining die cast stuff using a pair of extra-heavy duty SnapOn side-cutters (they have REALLY long handles, so you can apply lots of force for cutting). Only takes a minute or two.

Hot Water, I would really would like to see pics or a video doing this and what they look like afterward...
