Lots of weasel piss, swearing and praying. Beyond that, split it at the trans so you can get at it better unfortunately.

I used 3 different types of penetrating oil, some cussing, a lot of other ideas and got mine freed up.

Hi,

It can be what I refer to as a Royal PIA. Patience is a virtue here. Soak it with the 50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone then walk away. Next day see if you can budge it. Soak it some more and walk away. Next day.... Yeah. Repeat over and over again. Eventually, you will free it up.
