I don’t know if this will work. I had inherited a Stanley 45 which was stored in the cellar of an old farm house, and had rusted so the fence on the two rods would not move. I used plumber flux (for soldering copper pipe) on the rods and put a propane torch (typical of what a plumber would use), gave a little heat to the far side (the other side of the rod where no flux was applied) and the heat drew the flux into the “joint”. This greatly helped get the fence off the two rods on the Stanley #45 multi-plane.
