How to pull stuck hard drive sleds from the Mac Pro

I use another empty sled, clasp or hook the front ends together and pull. That's the best way. I borrowed the technique from Apple's takeapart of the Mac Pro, to shimmy the front fans, you are actually supposed to use a PCI slot cover much in the same way.
