I used an oxy/aceyt. torch. It won't take much heat. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 Socket Breaker | | Socket Breaker Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 | If all else fails, you can buy new ones, I think.... yeah cuz my dad got new ones for his '53 chevy .
good luck getting yers freed up, I had a stuck one on my '65 that I had to put in the vice with some liquid wrench, etc.. Finally got it to break loose.
