The only way to finally remove the spigot is to aggressively hit the base plate with the rotation marks with

a large soft mallet. The soft mallet will prevent damage to the steel and any miss hits to the mast. I usually

place a towel or rags on the mast to protect it but the rubber of the mallet can be removed with mineral

turpentine if needed. 

I would suggest to wear gloves and safety glasses to prevent injury if the mallet breaks as this has

happened to me once. If you do choose to replace the lift off pin after spraying the WD40 make sure

you remove it again before you attempt this last step.
