[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3169666, member: 29706"] My guess is that the pot metal has in some way welded itself together, since pot metal formula can vary if the two parts came off of different lines at different times it could be a form of galvanic corrosion. You could try and get a cheater on it for some more force but at some point you run the risk of breaking it. Heat may help but getting it too hot can cause problems as well. A quick search comes across a video where someone was doing something similar with a smaller fixture where the same issue came in to play. The solution was to drill out the guts on the original one and use a different style porcelain for the bulb to sit in. Not sure what the inside looks like but if it is large enough to do so I would run that direction as well rather than to run the risk of causing more damage than would be good to the outside.
