What's possibly happening is the lubricant used originally to grease the shaft has 'petrified' and is acting like adhesive instead of lube. When you heat it, it softens enough to allow movement, but locks it back up after cooling. Apply penetrating oil on the shaft while it's still hot. It may take a few tries but it should loosen up. Glad you were happy with the torch! Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
