Removal of the Lobster Claw Couplers on MTH rolling Stock Trucks.

This topic was probably addressed before, but it is straight forward so I will risk asking again.  I'm wanting to mount Kadees on some of my MTH hopper fleet.  After trying to figure out how to get the truck off, I removed all screws and one of the slope sheets fell out. Voila!, the truck mounting screw was accessible.  OK, truck is off, now how do I get the lobster claw off?  I tried removing the two bolster screws but nothing came apart.  What's the trick?  And while we're at it, what is the trick for separating the box from the under frame on box cars, no visible screws?  Thanks in advance for the help.
