I find KROIL works better than PB Blaster. A 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF works just as good as KROIL too.

If it is stripped, use a "F" drill ( .257 ) to make a spot on the top set screw. Just go far enough to get full diameter . Change to a 13/64" or 3/16" drill and SLOWLY drill thru the set screws. Use oil take your time. If the drill bit gets dull, resharpen or use a new/fresh on.

Once thru, use the 13/64 " thru the hole and then use a 1/4-20 NC tap to clean the threads. Purchase all new set screws when you reassemble.

I've already had my fun with stripped set screws

What does the frozen pizza have to do with the front PTO removal?
