I tried the gentle touch with the heat first with no effect. Then i tried
full blast on the cast with no effect. Then I got the plug red hot and let
it cool. That and with the 6 foot cheater and beating with the BFH and 15"
chisel finally broke it loose. The object of heating in this case is to
break loose the corrosion bond. In my experience, that requires getting
one side, the other side or both sides red to white hot.
