For stuck parts, I've had luck with Liquid Wrench (bottle, not spray). Let it sit (overnight even), try again. Use a little more. Let it sit. Maybe hit it with the hair dryer some. Other suggestions I've seen are to use PB Blaster with pretty much the same method.
Also, since it's a 66 model, the TFSR site goes into a lot of detail on how to refurbish those and troubleshoot. They even have a section on the balance wheel.
