Hi pws,
I think I'd soak it with rust buster of some kind overnight, and then grab it with vise-grips. I don't think you can get a tight enough clamp with regular pliers.
Soak it well before you try so you don't break it off right at the fiberglass under body.
I might also try tightening a bit before loosening it.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
