You have probably tried it but penetrating oil?

can you get a bag with some ice in it and sat it on the rod where it is stuck to get it good and cold ??? let it set for 15 to 20 minutes maybe longer and see if that don't do the trick !!!

From standing position place rod in bend of the knees grab rod on out side of knees and use legs to apply pressure on hands to force a part

You can buy arrow grabbers that will give you a better grip, if that's part of the problem.

A little heat from a heat gun or hair dryer can go a long ways, applied within reason of course.

I was just going to suggest this. I watched my grandfather do this many times and always worked. Also, after it was apart he put earwax on it so it would not do it next time.

2 people can't budge it
Thought about ice and a hair dryer, chill male end, heat female
Been hesitant to use penetrating oil
I have "free all" absolute best penetrating oil on the market
Think I'll try ice first
Thanks everyone

Good video scrat. Have used this technique for decades. It works. If that doesn't do it I'd be very surprised. Have helped many friends take apart rods that they gave up on using this technique.
