Excellent advise above, I do the same thing often on anything on a pump rusted together really. I go to the torch pretty quickly.

There have been times, if torching isnt working, I will use penetrating fluid after the torch application and let it set for a long time reapplying fluid if I can. You have to let it cool down before adding the pentrating fluid, otherwise it'll smoke badly. I think there is something about torching that opens up the path for penetrating fluid to enter.
