try one of those "preasure wrenches" I believe they are called, the one's that open and when you close them, they are hard, but then they click and keep locked. That is what I used in my car when re-furbishing it. Aslo try wd-40. put it on the morning, then 2 hours later, and soak it every 3 hours after that for a day. then next day, if you can still turn it on, get it hot (not too hot) and spray it some more, then when it dries, soak it again, and again. If you soak it all the time, withing 24 hrs it should be super loose.
