coilover perches seized up need help

[mozartung]

Hello guys, bought some used coilovers the perches somehow wont budge. They are siezzed up.

I tried soaking them with pb blaster and pipe wrench still wont budge?
Has anyone had this incident with your setup and how you got it free?

Thanks...

Make sure they aren't locked via an allan set screw David. They may have 2 adjustable turn perches. If they do you'll need to loosen the one that doesn't have a sleeve as it acts as a lock.

Big hammer bigger temper.

Problem fixed...
They were seized up As they were old. And

Hammer> pb blaster > Hammer > more pb blaster and a ton of patience it worked...
