Aquamatic 280 shaft journals frozen.

Hi,

I am adding heat and penetrating oil to the pictured slotted fasteners,



They refuse to cooperate, any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,

B

Update: no threads, just drove the little guys out towards the bellows.

You have locking bolts removed,next step is to drive them with brass drift and hammer.
Looks like case of bad corrosion.You did right by applying heat and lube.
I had to drilled out both pins two years ago ,was too much corrosion.
Not easy task ,since they are stainless steel.
