On my TR4 (same basic arrangement) I was fortunate that it lifted out
with a bit of effort... by 'frozen' Bob probably means that sometimes it
appears the pieces were assembled whilst the paint was still wet. Paint
= Glue in this case. Also cases of the shaft rusting to the housing but
I think that is rarer.
You might try some MILD hammering on the bottom of the pin... leave the
nut on the end of the shaft to protect the threads.
Also a good idea to thread the nut on the end of the shaft a bit while
you are trying to lift it off -- in case it lets go suddenly you won't
going flying out over the boot.
If the shaft is truly married to it's holder I think the usual technique
is to undo the bolts of that holder so you can work it/twist it on the
shaft to free things up.
Good luck.
