Lots of PB Blaster, a torch, a big sledgehammer, and lots of willpower! Seriously though, do a search and there are tons of different methods that people have tried. See what works for you

Do a search and you'll find a method that uses the power steering to effortlessly press it apart. It'll do in 2 minutes what would be 3 hours with a hammer.
