[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3169691, member: 7248"] You might try lemon juice or even vinegar since they are a weak acid. I would test it on a inconspicuous area. Acid should help reduce the corrosion if that’s the issue. Also when applying the heat, you want to expand the outer housing while keeping the inner threaded section cool if possible. That should cause a mechanical break if they are corroded together. I’d probaly try a torch (propane or maap gas) to heat quickly. [/QUOTE]
