One more thing that can only help to free them. With your propane torch heat the bottom edge to soften paint. Just hot, not cherry red. Also, It will slightly expand the metal.

Here are my recommendations: Give them a good soaking in WD-40 or similar. Since they are delicate and will bend easily, use a plastic or small wooden drift. Do NOT use metal or you will kink them. Loosen them from the LOWER lip. Once entire lower lip has been freed, tap upward beginning at one end and working toward the other.
