all was fine but just in the 2nd step, I've been unable to detach this L shaped bar
oxide seems to have done good job . I've been for half an hour hammering it.
this is how it should be removed, pushing this way:
any ideas how could I detach it? WD40 for one night?
thanks

Then hammer it back to where it was and then back out again will make it a lot easier if it's that bad.

You put a drift punch (or other suitably shaped piece of metal) in between...
