Inox maybe, Heat is the best have to do it every now and then at work when there a bit frozen on. Can try hitting in moderation where the threads are to try shock it loose remeber moderation and use 2 hammers one on eaither side

Some real muscles, back-yarder fingers and self tightening 24" Plumber's Stilsons worked for me last week. Not much paint left on the adjuster tube. After you get past the noisy bit and another 8 fracs of a turn, they do get easier.

I hate those things!
