    Just so I understand properly, the assembly itself is stuck inside the Glass and won't drop out?

    Yes. I was able to get the various nuts and washer off, but the thing won't budge. I hit it a few times with a dead blow hammer, but I'm worried about breaking the glass.

    I don’t know if this will help, but, the shaft of mine wasn’t so stuck in the glass as it was fused to the switch housing. I had to use a sharp pick and utility blades to scrape around the area where the shaft protruded through the housing. I also soaked in vinegar to help devolve some of the calcification. I addition, I used plenty of penetrating oil and gradually was able to wiggle it apart. I replaced the switch housing with new as well.
