Chuck, I don't understand "turn them out and swedge the hole". Usually when I come across an apparent immovable item such as you have, especially after one breaks. That is a clear warning sign of potentially more to come. I tweak the apparent immovable item ever so slightly in both directions, over and over, until I see evidence of movement. In most cases the item will free itself enough to adjust or remove. I'd go with the heat idea of Ron's in conjunction with the tweaking idea I mention. If breakage still occurs, you have some work cut out for you. You then could experiment with various lubricants, but seems an unlikely approach. for something already steadfast.
