I had the same problem. Eventually I used a small monkey wrench applied behind the flared splined area and this gave me leverage to both wiggle and pull till it came out. A few scratches on the bar but at that point I had to try anything.

Theoretically you could make a puller with a 1/2 inch piece of aluminum plate drilled big enough for the bar but smaller than the end. Then you'd have to slice it in half and cross drill it to bolt it back together on the bar. Then tap two or three holes and screw it out with long bolts. A lot of work but it should be possible.
