You have a point but generally a pipe wrench will put less compression
of surface because the teeth dig it with less pressure to get a got
grip (and this depends on pulling force applied) where with vise
gripe you ahve to smash the heck out of it before you even pull on
wrench

I grew up in the rust belt and althoiugh I am not in it know my plow
trucks live in it because they are out a lot in it when roads are
first being salted and ------ing salt too so it is a big battle at
times. A trick i learn long ago is to use the old gear oil I save from
changes to a old tractor (85w140 and it takes about 4 gallons at a
time) and spray it on bottom of truck and frame wih a paint spray gun
every fall and spring. Gear oil is tuff to wear off and it penetrates
well into crack and seems with time. My old 79 Jeep 20 wihich plowed
for many years still have about 98 perecent of frame and you can
remove shocks or ubolts without having heart attack doing it even
after all these years. Kinda sounds a bit corny but it really does
work well and keep plow equipment looking get too. (I have a 12 year
old plow that looks better than some 2 or 3 year old ones)

You might try heating it up with a touch to several hundred degrees
(hot enough the PB blaster smoxes when you spray it one) and then
spray it down stead with PB Blaster untill in cool engone to stop
smoking as the heat will expand it and as it cools it will suck some
of the PB into joint.
