Is all the tension off the torsion bars?
 
Heat from a gas torch - carefully, and then apply the BFH.
 
Looks like you are in the rust belt. May need to heat and spritz penetrant on the shaft for a few heat/cool cycles before it comes out. You may want to source one or more shafts to use just in case you have to get medieval on it and it gets tatered.
 
Sometimes letting the penetrant sit overnight works….gives you some time to cool off and regroup too.
