You will need to pound (tap) against the angle iron on the mold to loosen up cement that filled the crack around the bolt.
Always pound sideways toward the mold edge.
DON'T pound outward toward the outside wall (unless you plan to start completely over)!

Once all the nuts and bolts have been removed (and stored in the plastic container) you will need to remove any spacers that are still in place.
The spacers are small (4 in) pieces of iron rod. Once everything is stored in the container, hand it to someone to put into your tool bucket so they don't get lost or more importantly are in your way.
After removing all the spacers, choose the section of the mold that has the largest gap (had the largest spacer) to start on. Begin tapping the angle iron frame on ONE of the sections to loosen it from the cement wall. Again, tap sideways on the mold not toward the outside wall. Tapping will also remove the cement that may still be in the joint between the sections of mold.

VERY IMPORTANT you should only loosen ONE section of the mold, if all sections are loose at the same time the space between the sections will reduce and become too small to remove ANY section.
Special Note to work teams: After all the bolts are out, the cracks between the angle iron uprights are free of cement, and you have loosened one section, ask for some assistance from Tom or Nancy, they can guide you through the next part.

Carefully using the large chisel loosen the mold from the wall.
As it comes out some, slip the handle of your crescent wrench between that section of mold and the one still in place on the wall.
Be careful not to push the crescent wrench though the side of the wall J.

If it doesn't come out any, you will need to keep tapping and prying to loosen it up some more.
Once the handle of the crescent wrench is between the mold sections, it is a process of tapping to loosen more, prying with the chisel and slipping the crescent wrench down as more loosens up.
The bottom will be the hardest to get out and may require lots of pounding (taping) and prying.
