You are doing the right things. Keep soaking it. It probably has never been removed and is really corroded in the cylinder. Squirt some of the break Freee into the cylinder so it can be working from both ends. If you get it to move at all, remove it by rocking back and forth rather than trying to remove it by screwing it all the way out. This rocking motion will break up any corrosion that is in the threads. The stuff tends to wedge in the threads as the nipple comes out and can jam it again. Do not apply excessive force to get the nipple out or you may break it off. It it still defies removal, take it a gunsmith and let him remove it. He may have to drill it out and freshen the threads. Unless you are amachinistt, you cannot do that without a very great chance of messing up your cylinder.
Good luck.I have a black powder revolver with a stuck nipple.?
There is some oil called Kroil that is a high penetration oil that you can soak it in over night. It may be hard to find, so you could go to your auto parts store and ask them to help. I have used some stuff called PB Blast from the auto parts place, it's for breaking free rusted parts too. Liquid Wrench may work for you also.
While you are at the store, buy a small tube of anti-seize lube. Before you install new nipples, place a tiny bit of this stuff on the threads with a Q-tip to help avoid this problem in the future.
You can get extra leverage by sticking the handle of the nipple wrench into the hole of a regular wrench ( http://www.lakewoodconferences.com/direc鈥?/a> ). If you don't know how to get extra leverage with a regular wrench, you can use a metal tube to extend the handle length of your nipple wrench. If you still have problems or you simply don't want to force the nipple to turn, you'll have to invest in a can of liquid wrench. You could get it at most hardware stores.
Go to the gun store. I forget what they call it but you can actually buy a liquid that will help with that.
