stuck bucket

[WorkingProject]

Maybe try Emory cloth or something.

I feel bad about resurrecting my own dead thread but long story short, i got another stuck bucket...the tapping method isn't workin so I'm going to give it the old 'bake your head in the oven trick' to try to move it.  Any recommendations?

EDIT-

After MUCH frustration, I got the bucket out with some vice grips.  For future reference on stuck buckets...the oven trick didn't seem to work.  I think that heating it up would actually cause the aluminum head to expand inward (contract the hole).  SO i'm tired and at my limit but now my bucket won't go down at all.  Hoping I bent the bucket (instead of roughing up the slot there) I looked into OEM buckets...are they REALLY $30+???
