It will etch the aluminum somewhat. When your done neautralize the acid with baking soda, and water.

Thank you everyone. The upside down with muriatic acid did the trick.

How long did it take for the acid to eat that bond out of there?

Actually went really quick, very surprised, two hours and I could finally move it. Still took sometime to break it completely free and get it out, but it worked enough to get it started.
