I've got a butane torch here.. dont think it'll be hot enough to heat the boss up though..
It's a straight un-keyed taper fit - matching 15� tapers on the shaft and in the bore of the boss.
Don't be afraid to give it a really good smack - it's solid steel, so it isn't easily damaged. Pullers don't work on these, and I doubt heat would help much.
