Let them soak in a good penetrating oil for a few days. Go out twice a day and spray the oil on the joint. Hint: WD-40 is not a penetrating oil. I prefer PB Blaster. If you're you to replace the parts, a pickle fork usualy works well. -- ..boB 2006 FXDI hot rod 2001 Dodge Dakota QC 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 Mustang Coupe - Daily Driver 1965 FFR Cobra - 427W EFI, Damn Fast. |

Pickle fork ususally works well but damages the rubber. If you are replacing the stuff use a BFH and the pickle fork |
