"There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable application of high explosives." - Scott Adams

A GOOD puller and a BFH, as already noted, should do it though. If you need heat I recommend a real acetylene torch. weld That little Bernz-O-Matic setup does work well on small objects but those expensive oxygen cylinders only last about ten minutes... I've got one and got tired of buying $10 bottles.
