YOu may have already tried this but after a similar number of explitives I found a stout piece of steel (1/2" thick or so) and cut it to roughly the same size as the coupling face, drilled holes to match coupling got 4 grade 8 bolts and a selection of shims/sockets etc and gradulaly worked it off. Biggest pain was slipping the shims in between the plate and the center of the coupling so it contacted the end of shaft. But, it did work, a little tension, a little heat, some good lube and some time then repeat over and over. GIven my new couplings were $300 or so each, if they are reusable it is worth it.
