yep,open em up. or soak them in a pool of pb blaster or wd 40 for a day or so. MIGHT work(no idea,totally just pulled it from my...head...
it may have an affect on orings,but hey if they dont work then whats there to loose. if they start working again,cool. rebuild/clean as necessary.

Yeah... except forget the 'wire brush'! Unless they are brass brushes.
probably aren't that bad anyway.
Hint: My garage is pretty humid. I always put two drops oil into the air coupling when I'm done with it and store 'em coupling up.

You just don't have the arm strength to break loose bolts... it's all good bro. I won't tell anyone.
