Yup that's what I meant by don't get it too hot. I actually laid a piece of tin foil between the wheel and helm but be careful with the heat. Also, some heating and cooling cycles with some penetrating oil may help to draw the oil in. Remember to grease it before you put it back on too. Mine is a tapered shaft so once it moves at all it comes right off.
