I would not use a torch on lights and other things that might be plated or
thin. Soaking it is best, and time. There is a whole range of liquids and
everyone has their favorite. Just start with something and take your time. I
sometimes will cut a nut off of a threaded shaft with a fine Dermal cutting
wheel. 
I wonder if the http://www.evapo-rust.com/ would be of use?  ...bill in

I have been removing parts, with much frustration.  Several parts have come
off only with the use of my 24 tooth per inch "screw driver".  WD-40 is not
enough.  Any suggestions on techniques to free rusty screws and bolts?  I
have heard to use a blow torch, but was afraid to use one on lights and
such.  Please help, I am tired of the hacksaw.
