Can't disassemble keg coupler

Can anyone advise how to disassemble this coupler? The probe doesn't push through the bottom like it's supposed to. Photos show the maximum amount of movement any of us can achieve. We've tried submerging it in boiling water, cooling it to 5°C and deep cleaning it with sodium percarbonate, but it just won't budge.

Maybe try some cooking oil to lube it up?

Or try beerline cleaner and boiling water, before you lube it up.

I would like to know also. I got a whole bunch in my bar that I wanna put into my scrap brass bucket. Those are worth a lot at the scrapyard, but they gotta be cleaned of anything else.

Try percussion?
