It's Sunday, and I'm all dressed up. And going out this evening. Did
stop and get some JJBBlaster or something like that. Couldn't find KROIL.
I'll try the Blaster on there one more time. Problem is, that the piece
sticking out is a nub now, and not a lot to grab on to. There's enough on
the other end, though to either cut a screwdriver slot, or to double nut
it, then see if there's enough room to get a universal socket in there.
Will do the heat to cherry red thing, too. If that don't work, about all
I can think of is to weld a piece of rod to the end of the threads inside
the tuning fork part, and hope it will pop loose. And if that don't work,
I'll toss it.

Just had to do it. Couldn't stand NOT to do it. I left the Blaster in the
truck, so went to fetch it. Blaster was in my hand. The turnbuckle was
still in the vise. I squirted it and went to check to see how my drywall is
drying. It isn't, so I added one of those large propane heaters.

Came back, clamped the vise grips on there and got a quarter turn. Went
back and forth ever so carefully so as not to lose what little knob I had
(no pun intended) and worked it all the way out. Chased it with a tap.

And all in a pair of good slacks, too.

Like we used to say in the sixties, "Man that is some good ****."
