This happened to me once, only once!!~
I did all the above and finaly got it out by using 27 cans of PB Blaster (kidding) and a 5# hammer!
Took a few days, but came out just fine!~
After that I cleaned the tube well, added the grease nuts on the tube with new cable, grease offten!!
In the winter I now unscrew the cable pull it out of the tube, clean and bag it for the winter.
Spring clean the tube, unwrap the cleaned grease cable reinstall.
Repeat every fall!! Been fine now for 10 years! You should never never have to do this more then once in a life time, if so Quit boating!!
