It might be spaced out over a day or so. Tap a bit, warm a bit, add penetrating fluid, leave, repeat.
Eventually - I think my last one took a couple of hours of continuous effort - you get the tiniest bit of movement.
If you get movement, it WILL eventually come off.
Having said that, I got impatient with that last one. Everything but the middle stud was free, but that stud allowed only about 3 mm of movement, and would not let go.
So I dropped a hacksaw blade into the gap and cut the stud off.
Result - a scarred meeting surface - which goo fixes, but I shouldn't have done it.
