I have been asked several times how to remove a frozen quill stem. But none of the bikes I was working on had frozen stems. Or they were only a little bit stuck and were so easily removed that it wasn't worth making a video. Then I hit the jackpot with this bike. It was an old Schwinn I had sitting in my garage. They don't get any more stuck than this one! I started with penetrating oil. Then vinegar to dissolve the rust. Heat gun the expand the metal and break the bond. Hitting it with a hammer. I finally resorted to cutting it off.
Check out my video of removing a stuck stem with a cable puller winch:

I found a stem that was even worse!!! I ended up disolving it using drain cleaner:
