Location: Hayward, WI | If it's really really stuck you might want to take the base off anyway and spray your penetrating oil from the top and bottom (I think most bases have a hole in the bottom of the base). You might be able to get more coverage that way. I also would try everything everyone else said.
Oh yeah, you can also try putting the whole thing in a freezer if it will fit, and then try heating it up, or better yet, pack some dry ice around it if you can find some, and then try to heat the base up fairly quickly (before the post is able to get heated up). I had a a bearing race that I COULD NOT get out of a hub, and doing this made it come out fairly easy.
