Removing old Campag Brake Blocks?

Any suggestions on an easy way to remove old Brake blocks?

So I can do it but so far always involving way to much effort and brute force.

It's a set of very early old rectangular shaped Record blocks. Want to remove them from the shoes intact and keep them as their almost perfect. Replace with some Mathauser compound/Kool Stop ones.
 
spray the pad/holder interface with a bit of silicone, then clamp the sides of the pad (only!) lightly in a bench vice and push on the holder mounting stud. the combination of lube and compression from the vice usually will have them sliding right off...
