Same problems, here...

Whatever penetrating oil used will have some smell, and will spread
due to the low viscosity of the oil (the reason it will flow into the mechanism by capillary action).

The Corrosion cracker smells awful.

Store the works in a tupperware container with plastic wrap to retain the vapor.

Applying an open flame to this should be undertaken with care, as these solvents may 'flash' explosively. Eyebrows grow slowly.

If a good soak and long screwdriver don't turn the trick, it will be cheaper to have a pro remove the stuck works than to have the resulting damaged parts replaced.

(Not that I have any experience with this, of course.)
