Here, take a look at this picture. (BTW: You can click the PDF image and use the mouse buttons to see 3D).
You could just use a long bar w/o the L-shape but if space is a limitation, using the L will give you the same torque. Also, you can use the tailstock and a plate to hold the bar into the slot. While somone is putting force on the bar, somebody else should be whacking the bar with a hammer a few inches from the chuck where its inserted into the slot.
Another thought. You can probably make, beg or borrow a chain wrench. The one I have only wraps around 8" bar/pipe stock but they come much bigger. I'd be inclined to make one if I needed bigger.
I know this sounds crazy but, is there any chance it's a left hand thread? It defies all common sense but, I don't profess to know everthing about every lathe that was ever made...
