Unhappy Help! Tein Type " Stuck HA"

I have my Tein install in the winter... did not know that you have to keep the thread on the body well lube. The harsh winter + salt + Sand have made them unadjustable. Is there any way to loose them up so I can adjust the height? Over the last month, I try to spray WD40 couple time.. did not do a thing.. My lex tech try to spray some NForce?? did not work.. I am pissed and out of ideas!

HELP!

Go to one of those Self wash car washes, the one's with the heated water and sprayers, Go in the middle of the night because that's when the water will be Very hot and just spray each wheel well very very good, use the Tire Cleaners and then use the soapy water, maybe that might get all the stuff that's in there and u can spray some WD 40 to loosin it up after words, goodluck

If all else fails, you can remove shock and cut off the perches then get new ones from Tein USA. They are not expensive. Make sure you ALWAYS apply anti-seize on the threads prior to installing any adjustable coil-over setup. I do here.
