Any bright ideas how to free them up? I'm about to drill a cross hole and use a tommy bar to get them out. The flats are not effective to free a rusted assembly?

thanks for everyones advice, certainly plenty of heat on the outside tube helped, but i found the difficulty was getting a grip on the small flats used for the spanner. Sooo..... have welder, have idea, get it done !






nearly pulled the bench over it needed so much force, but once it moved it unwound fine and threads ok in wishbones so all good ;-)

You think? Guess I can cut them off, but would make it easy to set the adjustment when it goes back together. biggrinbiggrin
