Patience, heat, WD40 (or penetrating oil of your choice). Brass drift and a ballpien hammer.
Chipped all the scale out of it with a small cold chisel. shot it every day for a week with WD-40 after heating it. At the end of the week, I started to tap the flapper with the drift and hammer. very moderate taps all along the flapper where it was against the manifold body.
It is now free, and no damage to the manifold. I only need to hot-tank it now to clean out the inside, and install it.
I also had to drill out a couple of the studs, and retap them. Not a crisis, and I ended up with a darn nice manifold to install my heat shield on.......
looking forward to running a tank of kero through it just for giggles.
