Default VS White clutch removal

This VS White was given to me. You may see why at the right. Yup, the handwheel spokes are all broken and it flops around. The clutch knob is intact, but it was probably the reason the spokes broke. I have the set screw out, have oiled it multiple times, tried gently yaps with a woden punch, got more aggressive to using a bigger hammer and a steel punch while roatating piece. Not a bit of wiggle.

Any ideas before I heat it with a propane torch?[ATTACH=CONFIG]609715[/ATTACH]

Before you ask. The clutch engagement lever isn't binding on anything. I bet someone put a puller on the hand wheel.

Hard to know what to do when someone has used a gorilla on it already.
