Yes a job like this calls for an air/electric impact wrench. Just thinking out loud here but have you tried something like a gas torch - you know this sort of thing

or even a mini blowtorch. Might be worth buying a blowtorch (like this just for illustration). I get a lot of use out my ones.

Disconnected all switches, still shines. Measured every signal into the cluster, works fine. Now even cut wires from ignition lock going into the cluster, still shine. Bet the damn bulb would still shine if I took it out and wacked it with a hammer..

Cheers for the replies/suggestions.
Found an old electric hot gun for paint stripping, will set that up on heat for 15 mins and then try.
Trouble is the recess is now rounding off so all 3 10mm keys anit biting.
Bro in law has garage but he away at the moment, may wait for his return and get it up on lift and a welded bolt

I have a 12 inch pipe wrench specific for this job a stilson type with good sharp jaws. No much offers it resistance.
