well soak that bugger overnight with PB blaster and work on it in 24 hours. I'd
try a strap wrench; knocking it with a good whack now and then to separate the
rust and then work it off slowly and evenly with small pry bars or screw
drivers on either side, work around the edges.
I usually find that after a bit of a fight, they will suddenly come right off.

it should just slide off. if it's old/been driven in winter sometimes there is
rust. You can pull the key then you can sometimes rotate the gear on the crank
and it will come off (try some grips and a rag). you can also GENTLY pry with
a couple small screw drivers on both sides, usually at 3 and 9 oclock. watch
out, too much and you will break the very outer edges of the gear off (I'd
know). Spray it with blaster first or whatever you have around. sorry, i
should have been more specific, the key doesnt want to budge.peter-- Medio
