Rusted strut inserts

Two things or thoughts.
 
One, is to use a better rust breaker.  The best is a 50/50,  combination of 
Kroil and Acetone.  With the strut upright, fill the top and  let it soak down 
then fill it some more.  Let set for about two days.   If it does no come lose 
then, it won't.
 
Second, if the insert is rusted that bad, it may be the insert and the  inner 
strut housing.  Then it would be a throw away for both.
 
Maybe a chance to upgrade to two piece B3 front struts.
