WD40. You can use a propane or napp torch to heat the bearing. The
aluminum will expand more than the steel and possible break the
corrosion/rust.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Thrust bearing Help
I have a Glen Martin TB-25 Thrust Bearing
I am having trouble BACKING OUT the set screws that lock the Mast in
place
This TB-25 is made of Die cast Aluminum.
I have used WD-40 and several other sprays.
I just can't break loose the bolts. I just don't want to break the bolts or
the top housing of the TB-25.
Any ideas on what to spray on the bolts that will help break them loose
