Put a 4’ cheater bar on those channel locks.

Just now tried a 3’ long piece of 1 1/2” square steel tube which barely fit over the pliers. Put enough force on the tube to start the all-steel work bench up on two legs. And that bench is heavy.

That light fixture ain’t gonna budge!

I know, but at this point in time, is the effort worth the results when you can buy one just like it thats new, and "antique" it?

Yes, the experience is worth it. I may have to cut into the fixture (and yes, it’s an older one), but at least I can say, “I repurposed this old thing” instead of just buying a new fixture.
