Re: SEIZED Coilover Perch
When I had my Ksports on the sleeve seized to the shock body itself. I had to put the sleeve in a huge bench vice by steering knuckle mounts, then applied a LOT of heat to the sleeve itself. I then used a big channel lock pliers and grabbed onto the shock itself (yes, where the threads are) and used all of my weight (me gripping the pliers and bouncing on it with my weight) and then pressing up from underneath as hard as I could.
It ended up coming loose and the problem was that the aluminum had corroded and that white powder was everywhere. I took it all apart, cleaned it good and put antiseize everywhere. I'm guessing you will have to do the same sort of thing. PB Blaster or WD40 did NOT penetrate that area at all, heat was the only thing that did anything.
