You know there's a snap ring on the bottom one, right? Other than that... PB Blaster and BFH. If you're desperate... I know my local napa will change them out... you might wanna try yours.

Try a little heat. Even one of those little propane jobbies that go on the disposable tanks will work. A little expansion will break the rust hold.

I have also tapped around it with a hammer when the press is still on. Use a big hammer on one side (held in place) and hit with a smaller hammer on the other.

Good luck.
