Yes, and if that doesn't get it you may need to put some heat to it.

Kroil penetrating spray is the best I've seen for frozen things. Try something like that.

Just to confirm it's part 43004 that's frozen?

Good Fortune!

yes thats the part ive tryed about a dozen diffrent penetrating fluids and ive tryed heat i think its time to admit it i need a new part

If there's no aluminum in the part, could try soaking it for awhile in muratic acid (cheap and readily available at any swimming pool supply store and probably any home supply).

Muratic acid dissolves rust and may be rinsed away with water.

Would soak part in water/soda solution to neutralize before re-using the part (freshly well-lubed, of course).

Wear goggles and rubber gloves, and be very careful while dealing with the acid.

When finished, dispose of acid by pouring it into a bucket of water (never add water to acid), then add some soda to the solution before dumping.

Good Fortune!
