Bronze hinge corroded

[GrandWood]

Hello all, repairing the rails on GB36, I’m pulling the hardware off the rail/gates to fill holes that are stripped, and while there soak the ends in epoxy and fill the holes.

Have one hinge that is corroded pretty bad, won’t move at all, unless the wood rail is in it. Have tried WD40 for a few days and still won’t budge.

Any help would be much appreciated

Greetings,
Mr. G. Try a proper penetrating oil like PB Blaster or make your own from 1/1 (mix ratio) auto transmission fluid to acetone. VERY gentle application of heat might speed penetration (hot air gun). Patience, patience, patience.
