Well that was fun...

There was a white sealant they put on the threads when they were assembled originally.

For really nasty corroded stuff....I would simply weld a nut to the top of each fastener..then source new fasteners for reassembly.

The nut lets you put down the barbie allen socket bits and get some leverage without stripping...and if you are quick...the welding obviously applies heat.

I've used this method countless times on exhaust manifold studs/bolts broke off in cylinder heads....works well.

I. Have found that when working with stubborn fasteners, the liberal use of high explosives works every time.

yes but you need to get one out so that you can put the explosives in the hole for maximum effect.

Would that be the "new" WD or the old formula that worked and actually dispersed water?
