To return to the subject at hand. Repeated applications of home-made penetrating oil in all orifices, gas torch until sizzling then cooling, spindle in soft jaws, spanner on petrol cock body, turning…. “Click!”. The threads in the body need cleaning up, they’re stiff, the spindle threads seem to have suffered. Don’t know what the thread is, might be 1/16″ BSP (?). I’ve got some gauges somewhere, and some taps.
