I didn't use to bother trying to free them off as I had been told it didn't work/they would just seize up again very quickly.
However read about somebody freeing them off, and told my dad, he freed off my old s2 ones for his 100 (they were solid, not leverable at all, needed a sizeable hammer to start them moving, and they have been on his car for a while now.
I have also done another two sets like that which work perfectly.
I think it is worth a shot (for me anyway) as it is quick and doesn't cost anything. Now worth paying a garage though, and if they did just seize again it could be a pain.
