Default Stuck Side Cover

Has anyone ever had a stuck side cover? The bike, 74 CB550. I picked up won't shift. I think the shift rod has welded itself to the side cover. I have the motor out now, but I'm still unable to get the cover off. Lot of penetrating oil and lite tapping. Just wondering if anyone has a trick that I should try.

Thanks
