    Seriously, you've been hammering so you've probably started a problem anyway. Get the brute out, even if you have to remove it filing by filing (Dremels are good units)

    What do people normally put in the slot then to try to turn it? I've tried a 14mm wrench sideways but this not really long enough to get much purchase!

    Well 2/3rds of it are out now, back third was corroded so it's down to getting all the crap out tomorrow and cleaning up the thread!

    Is there any chemical I can use to losen up the last bits? I have most of the thread clear but the last couple of pitches have some stubborn bits I can't remove.

    Didn't know they existed! Had made a tap out of a brass plug which has helped with the pick
