Just use your common sence...

Wire brush etc

More wd40 wire brush the threads. Make sure your turning them the right way. Do the bottom first. I use a big hammer too.

If you manage to get them to move coat the threads in copperslip afterwards.

Chock of wood and a hammer does the trick, works well on the fuel pump retaining ring too
