Headrest question

[decampos]

My headrests are somewhat seized. I've read on the forum that this is fairly common. I'm currently cooking the shafts in plenty of liquid wrench. In removing them do I just (attempt to) yank them out? Is there a hidden release button/catch or anything like that? (Mercedes R107s weirdly have a secret button).

Any help much appreciated.

No hidden releases,just a chromed notched shaft sliding in a metal tube.

Thanks for your reply. I've given up trying to shift it. Spent ages whacking it in all directions with a large mallet as hard as I dared. Amazing how corrosion can set so firm when it's something inside the car. Previous owners were serous back-sweaters.
