While I was trying to lever the top wing off, the two front undercarriage legs 'popped' out of their location holes! It was just a little more work, with a pair of tweezers, to wiggle the rear legs free.
Thanks. I normaly use the same "freezer-hot water-freezer-hot water" method

Now re-painting my last two Pfalz D.III I had taken out the upper wing (just by pulling gently) and I was removing painting by submerging the model in pure alchool for a day or two ... and the undercarriage did come out by itself. I guess that the alchool may have disolved or softened the glue.

Something I conclude from your and mine experience is that Pfalz D.III undercarriages are easier to remove than some other models. I've tried to remove Albatros D.V undercarriages and it is much harder -- almost impossible withouth breaking them
