How to REMOVE this leg?

I am refinishing a small table that has a tripod base. I want to get the legs off, so as to re-glue them tighter to the center column than they were originally. (There were originally small gaps.)

I can't get two of the legs off to save my life. I need some suggestions.

The Details:

Here are pics of the patient:






One leg had one of its 2 dowels broken, and I was able to remove it quite easily by heating it with a hair dryer & twisting.

However, the other two legs are holding on for dear life. I heated one for maybe five full minutes, and then puled and rocked it with all my might, but you can see how little it moved. I can't really put a screwdriver in-between the two pieces for leverage, as that would likely damage the wood.

Ughh.


Any ideas?
