    Have you tried spraying with penetrating fluid and allowing to sit overnight?

    Done everything , won't budge under a torque wrench so terrified they'll snap. Time for a pro

    Try leaving some Coca Cola sitting in the pocket overnight, whatever is in that stuff is very good at shifting seized spark plugs in Ford heads Extra-Long threads.
    Try it one more time you haven't much to lose.
