soak in oil ,get a bucket or pan or trash can filled with used motor oil,and soak and wait.could take a week or more depending how rusty everything is patients is the master here.

Great. If you can't get the race out by pulling, try knocking it out from the other side with a pry bar. The bend in the end should be able to catch the edge.
