[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 2139759, member: 29241"] Maybe I am way off but when threads are seized or gauled it usually does little or no good to soak with penetrating solvent. The threads are air tight and even Kroil, which is the only penetrating oil that actually creeps. Solvents may work if threads can be worked a little back and forth and work solvents in. Had fastener frozen and it had actually been soaked in the leading penetrating solvent for a week. When finally last try, used pipe wrench and 4ft extension to break loose and the entire threads were dry. They were definitely sealed against anything penetrating. Heat is almost a sure effect on releasing sized threads only usually ruined finish due to the required temp to expand the metal [/QUOTE]
