Timing was the issue? Was it set to 0* or 24* or something crazy like that?

Or if you don't want to break it, try taking the hold down tab OFF and grabbing the shaft with a big pair of channellocks.

Put a little heat on it. We have been buying these yellow cans of MAP gas. That **** is awesome and it allows you to get down in tight areas like that.
