replacing reel teeth on 896 JD header

I'm trying to replace the reel teeth on a John Deere 896 swather header. I have the reel bar disassembled from the reel and am at the point where the operator manual says to pull the sections of the reel bar apart. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried heating and twisting with a pipe wrench, and heated it and hooked it to the truck. Couldn't budge it either way. There must be a simpler way.
