If it is stuck in an iron part the comments above apply. However if it is stuck in an aluminum part like a head or intake manifold an old trick is to put concentrated nitric acid on it. The aluminum will form a passive oxide coating and will not dissolve further but any iron will dissolve. I am not sure where you can get HNO3 except in a Chemistry lab and it is really dangerous stuff capable of extreme burns on skin tissue but I have seen broken drill bits dissolved out of aluminum parts using HNO3.

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
