I made a little video showing the problem. I can't get the thing out.

Ive heard of using an air chisel/hammer:

I have never tried that method but I have used a torch to heat up the parts, which can help loosen them up.

Attempted more heat and using a hammer. No luck. I don't understand why it will swivel without any effort, yet refuses to come out. Any ideas?

didn't have this problem but mine was seized
actually yesterday I did it march 12th 2014
my guess is it snapped in 2 pieces and seized my best guess is keep spraying WD-40 in there and heating it up gunna take a lot of heat and banging it with a hammer
