Thought that might be the case, unless you were just bragging to make the
rest of us unlucky souls feel bad. ;-)
If its got the square-headed adjuster, the official square wrench is
critical. An open-end wrench has too little contact area and will likely
round off the adjuster. Then you're _really_ in trouble. The square wrench
lets you apply lots of persuasion. Plenty of penetrating oil soaking it for
awhile, then heat from a propane torch have always done it for me. It may
take half an afternoon of creative cussing but eventually your irresistible
force overcomes the immoveable object.
