Thanks all for the replies. Sorry for the slow response, things have been busy lately and I haven't been on here for a bit. I was being a little too shy with the torch at first, I put some more heat to it and was able to pry the shaft off.

Fortunately my truck isn't too bad, there's been a few stuck fasteners but there definitely is some built up rust and corrosion in the front suspension. But it's all part of the fun!

at first it will smoke , just keep dripping it on the threads, till it starts to "suck in". once that happens, keep adding more.
Let it cool completely before you try to remove it. Rapid-Tap has a high smoke point and penetrates well.

That's a great tip, I will have to get some Rapid Tap and try that out sometime!
