Heat. You don't want to use flame, I get that. How about laying a BBQ
charcoal lighter on it? You could probably bend the thing to make more
contact.

Getting the shaft out of the coupler is turning out to be quite a
trick. I'm using a large socket in the center of the coupler to act as
a spacer. Then I'm using the coupler bolts to act as clamps and draw
tights against the socket. I have lots of penetrating oil in just
about every location imaginable. All the bolts are as tight as I can
make them and I've rotated the shaft multiple times to work everything
around. Then I used a hammer to agitate it, still nothing. I simply
can't get the bolts tighter. The only thing I haven't tried is heat.
Got any other suggestions? Cross posted on FB.
Found this guy on YouTube. I hope it's not this big of a pain in the ass.
