Re:  PW Dial removal

Try a product that is marketed under the name of KROIL.  Kroil is a truly superior penetrating oil, useful for loosening all sorts of threaded mechanisms , bearings,  etc. Use a SMALL drop, perhaps two, and let time finish the job - in other words, apply Kroil, wait severalhours, and lock-screws or other similar stuff will loosen as if by magic.  What was once frozen will now come loose with only moderate force.

As the guy on TV says, "try it you'll like it"

Oh, and by the way,  absolutely nothing else is comparable.
