They have a small springloaded pin on each end of the bar. Just pull to one side and they'll pop out.

Wot Red said..... sometimes easier to get a knife edge down the end of the rail to ease the springloaded end in.

Thanks chaps, knew the praying would pay off.

Seriously though, thank you all who replied, job now done, and left the angle grinder in the garage too - good job cos i'd a probably cut the fookin roof anarl.
