Cuzco Strut bar. Refurbishing, Need help. Options

[njccmd2002]

Hey, stenotsaw sold me a st202 strut bar from jap.

Its a rare bar, that i have not seen, its an old model for st202

this is it



so i decided to refurbish it and sand it



but when i took this bastard apart PITA



electrolysis had already taken a toll



and the inside of the thread



the thread is in good shape, but the pieces of aluminum are stuck

any good way to melt the aluminum? Heat?

now the centerpiece will be a pain to get, i think they are reverse threads!!!!

but im thinking it can be found.

oh and for those of you with mad skills, this is a simple desing to copy and make these sukers in a modified way,

if anybody interested, i can take detailed pics.....

oh, and any help is appreciated...
