My 'vice' is the slats in a park bench downstairs! Honestly it's a lost cause, the effort to move it at all caused loud squeaking and I had to sit down and recover, my mild COPD suddenly stops being mild.  :o That means it is time to get help or replace it.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
You could try soaking it overnight in Diesel in an old Tupper-wear type container.

Alternatively my offer stands.

Multiman:
I did mine recently which was seized solid.
Sprayed with plusgas let overnight.
Clamped in vice and a bit of heat shifted it.
Happy to do it for you but it would probably be cheaper to take to a local garage than post it to me and back.

Roo pointed out that there should be two o-rings, above and below the bracket to help keep out the road crud.
Mine didn't have any which is probably one reason why it was seized.
91259-333-000, DSS and Fowlers have them but at nearly £5 each! plus postage.
Not sure if Julie does them.
Good luck

It's out!  ;D Sounds like a bad tooth don't it? The guy who did it for me with heat and some elbow grease is the same guy who welded up my split main stand for just £5.00. The job he did today for me he did for free. Well, he is a resource obviously so deserves a plug. Madeira Auto Body Repairs at the Railway Arches, Brady St. London E1. Ted, thanks for your kind offer though!  :D

taysidedragon:
Good news. Whatever you put back on the bike, keep it well greased or you'll be doing all this again. 😉
