pound it every hour with PB blaster…then if you have a propane min-torch try to get it warm after you’ve hit it with PB a few times. while it’s hot try to get just the jam-nut clamped in the vise, and use a big plumber’s pipe wrench on the bottom mountwith a like a foot or two of pipe on it. If you can get someone to help, it would REALLY make it easier if you could have someone warming it with the torch while you have pressure on it to get it moving. once it’s moving just keep spraying PB at it until it’s easy to move and continue to apply heat a little at a time. If you’re burning up the powdercoat on it, you’ve gotten it too hot.

Heat and a big hammer tend to do the job.
