G'day Ian

To add another solution into the mix withj Wayne's, I have found that the use of "rust 
remover/disolver" the penetrating oil and lots of patience is the answer.  Use the rust 
disolver first even leave it on for hours, then penetrating oil - clean it off and repeat the 
process till they turn and can be removed.

Cheers
Diana
