Brass fittings stuck on Carburator

Ok I'm rebuilding a 79 carb that was sitting a junkyard for a long time. The problem I'm having is getting out my needle seats. They come in the carb kit, so I'm not worried about damaging them. I've tryed using wd40 and chem-dip non-of them have helped the thing budge. I've destroyed one of the slots on one of them, but I can just use a dremmel and make the slot deeper to fix that problem. Anyone have any handy tips? Thanks
