Lots of PB Blaster and a long wrench! Even one of the little propane torches from the hardware store burning Mapp gas will put enough heat in there to help a lot. Let the PB soak in for a day or two,the heat will help the PB penetrate. Good Luck!

I used an airsaw. It was small and had a short stroke, unlike a Sawzall.

No amount of penetrant or heat short of a cutting torch was going to get them out.

Went back in w/ all st-st hardware.

Sorry, I had inadvertantly deleted this thread.

Air saw or saws all. I used a saws all to get mine off.
