Let it sit in WD40.

Some would actually have to cut the perch and buy new ones, in some really bad cases.

PB Blaster, lots of it and let it soak for a while.

Same happened to my coils, used WD-40, PB Blaster, Torching, Chisel, no luck. Ended up cutting the rings on two coils, called the manufacturer and ordered new ones at $10 ea shipped. As for the other two, after hours of attempts, using pipe wrenches and a vise actually got them to break lose.
