Same system works with swinging arm bearings although that usually needs a forward mounted hacksaw blade

So far so bad ! I tried some threaded bar and heat---nada.

I've done the saw cut and nothing has collapsed in on itself tonight. Started doing a second cut nearby to help the collapsing but its still solid. Too tired to do any more tonight - wish I had a 15 mm steel drill bit that would thin the walls somewhat.

I can see the temptation in buying a used stand that has been sorted !!

In the end I resorted to violence using a 15mm masonry bit with the SCS in hammer mode only it finally  let go! Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

I find this with most things that are well stuck or corroded.

Far from being the most brutal,  it seems just more insistent in applying vibration to the work piece and avoids the significant blows a heavy hammer will apply.

I've been using (by making up special adapters) this method for moving things in fairly light structures that I didn't want to damage.

This is a "Dead Pivot" as opposed to Parrot
