Finally got it off with doing what you said along with plenty of oil. The one hole feels like it needs to be re-tapped.
Gave it a thorough cleaning last night using Goop original hand cleaner (newer versions have pumice in them). Took apart as much as I could for a two hour soak in a crock pot of water and Simple Green. Tonight I started wire brushing various unpainted parts. Buffing will be next.
