OT - Iron vs Brass Monkey
As I recall, regardless of the metrial, it does not cease to exist during
corrrsion. When iron is reduced fo instance, it creates iron oride.
Because the nut and bolt corrode at an equal rate, the iron oxide melds and
causes the freezing of the two parts.
Too many years in the Navy I guess.
Soak in WD 40 or Naval Jelly for about a year and good luck.

Ever tried to remove a rusted nut from a rusted bolt?
