1. Liquid Wrench. Reapply and again. Heat part(s) either through running
engine and/or with judicious flame.

2. Reapply. Wait. Reapply.

3. Hex wrench should be seated deeply in the socket, clean out as ness.

4. Sharp taps with hammer, not to dent or mar, but to break seal will be
a good prep-step.

5. Grasp hex wrench firmly and try to 'snap' the thing off. Follow
through of movement helps, you know- visualize the arc of rotation.
