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.
