PB Blaster, as mentioned let sit for a day or two, spray in between, Bingo !!
I put anti seize on pretty much everything as well, except for wheel studs. I have always heard that they should never be coated with anything. Maybe that is an old wives tale, but I have always left them dry.I'm a firm believer in never seize, bought a 48 Dodge sedan parts car that looked like it had been sitting in a swamp. I needed some differential parts for my 48 Desoto 2dr sedan I was bring back from the dead and looked at those lug nut bolts and though there was no way they are going to come loose without at least a few of them snapping off or having to resort to liquifing the offending unit. But put my 1/2" drive 6 point socket on the first one with a 2 foot breaker bar and gave 'er a tug....darn thing spun out like it was just installed yesterday. Turned out a previous owner had put never seize on ever single lug nut bolt!!
So been using never seize on pretty much anything and everything since then.
I've been socking the plugs with deep creep. Haven't try pulling them yetYou guys ever used Deep Creep made by SeaFoam. Best stuff I ever used. When taking the rear out of my 65 Coronet that had never been apart I sprayed it a couple of times and let it set for a few days and it came apart like it was put together yesterday.

As far as anti seize goes I put it on everything. When doing brake jobs I use it on the self adjuster and it will work forever with out rusting up. First thing I do with a new vehicle is take tires and wheels off and put it on the wheel studs so they go off and on super easy forever.
Me too...even when I was in the trade we were warned by the manufacturer against using copper grease type anti seize on wheel lugs. Firstly it can make them work lose and more importantly you wont be able to torque then up correctly as the quoted lug bolt or nut toque is always for DRY threads. You will tend to over torque with anything on the threads.I put anti seize on pretty much everything as well, except for wheel studs.
