Must be the drugs I'm on for my back.

Mine is stuck to! i pulled the pin out and hit it with a sledge hammer for 10 minutes trying to get it out with no success. the holes were still lined up perfectly. i even hooked it to my friends jeep and tried pulling it out and it wouldnt come out.
there is a welded cover behind it so i can not put a piece of pipe in there to hit it with...

and we are gonna need a video if you do it

along with the torch and hammer idea try hooking a comealong to it to pull on it while you heat and hammer. this will help it move when the heat swells the outer tube and the vibration from the hammer breakes it loose. this may not be video worthy but it might help. it has worked on many pto shafts where i work.

Make sure to use a heavy chain, or better yet a 30,000lb tow strap. Chains break and can do serious damage. There was a guy on here a while back that was using a chain. It broke and sent the hook into the windshield. I like the back it into the wall thing if you hitch is not open in the back.
