There was a guy on here who Had a tenon piece stuck in the stem. He reported a light steaming helped remove it.

The freezer trick has worked for me quite a few times. Sometimes 5 minutes in the freezer will do the trick, sometimes longer. I left a pipe in the freezer for an hour once before it finally loosened up. But it does work.

One more vote for the freezer, or, if you're a patient sort, the refrigerator works fine, too.
