Jeff I read an artical on an old tractor site about rusted parts and the best method of freeing up 2 parts that are rusted together. Soak it in water. I did this with my gas tank sending unit it took me 2-3 days but freed it up enough to were I could work it back and forth and get some PB Blaster in there to finish the job.

The other possibility is to look up in the tech tips (I think it is there) about the article on electronic rust removal. That might be an option for you.

Just remember it didn't rust together in one day so take your time and don't rush it, you WILL get it freed up.

Good luck
