<<If the answer is "heat," what do you recommend? I really don't have
anything hotter than a blow drier,>>

Hmmm, from the address sounds like you have the highest grade of natural
heat source, readily available!
A little heat (after drying out in the sun, otherwise the residual fuel
is going to give you a surprise!) and putting the outlet fitting in a
vise and twisting on the old pump is an idea. It takes more torque to
overcome stuck threads if just twisted, so try having someone whack the
side of the old pump with a rubber mallet (or dead blow hammer) while
you have it all torqued up and heated up. A propane torch is a good
source of heat but it puts out a very focused flame, so be careful and
keep it moving to gradually heat up the area.
