You didn't wreck anything if can't heat up the glue or get it off (reel) seat. Try to cut it off with a pipe cutter, the kind you use on 1/2 or less copper pipe with the round disc knife. If you do use electrical tape around the shaft area that needs to be cut. This way it will help buffer the area so it wont splinter apart. So when you cut you actually are cutting the tape and shaft at the same time. It works, I've used this method several times. Go slowly. Hang in there.
