I had one he11 of a time getting mine out of my 85R, but I did get it. I tried all of the above...repeatedly, with no real luck. Do you have any Kroil? That stuff is amazing!

Yaegerb gave me a suggestion that worked for me. Maybe it will for you too.

-Hit it with heat
-Use an impact to get it to spin
-Use a sledge to get it moving in the right direction
-Repeat above steps (repeatedly)

This technique was the ticket and I didn't need the Sawzall that was lying in wait after all. Hope it works for you too. (I think the spinning from the strong impact was they key to success).

Heat and the Kroil is the trick and a big hammer !
