Need help freeing steering rack universal joint

New to me 1985 (early) 944 track car. Power steering converted to manual (poorly).

I'm trying to remove the rack to send to Martin Willis for proper conversion.

I've got it completely free ... except that damn universal joint. Got the bolt out with no trouble but it won't let go.

I have tried:
  1. Spreading it by wedging a screwdriver in and twisting it with a pair of vise grips
  2. Prying it
  3. Soaking in PB blaster
  4. Pounding on it
  5. Heat
  6. Various combinations of the above

It seems to have moved a little but not much.

Anyone have a secret to solve my problem?

Thanks in advance.
