Throttle Body Pipe Fittings

Has anybody removed the pipe fittings from the passenger side of a Holley (or other) throttle body for an LT1? The tech told me they were pressed in but I'm having no luck getting them out.

Chris,

Maybe throw the TB in the freezer overnight... then try and pull them out?

Freezing it didn't help though it did look neat "steaming" in the sunlight. Anyways i managed to get the top fitting out but (as I was afraid would happen) the bottom fitting broke. Guess it's time to break out the drill bits.
