Cant get side seals out
I've been prying at these bastards for almost a week now. I can only get parts to break off at a time. I have every penetrator oil on it, and still no good. I've been using a small flat head which works best. Is there anything else I can try? Can I heat or freeze anything to help this? They were so carbon locked, its not even funny. This rotor spent the night in carb cleaner, is very clean, but the it didnt help the side seals really. Its just 1 rotor too, and it sucks.

Springs came out easy. I had them soaking in carb cleaner overnight and the MMO on them after that and I really had to pry them out. This deal really pisses me off as it was supposed to run and now the housings are flaked on one side... They said it was a rebuild, which theres evidence of.

I've taken apart motors that ran nice and had good compression, but when disassembled the chrome flaking was bad. Its just the way our motors are. Thats also why some engine builders can get away doing a subpar rebuild and getting away with it for several months. Any pics of the housings?
