If all else fails, tap the cylinder on the backside with a rubber mallet until the cylinder works itself free from the studs. (edited)

I tried that and it wouldn't budge. It is sitting out there and I give it a shot of PB blaster every once in a while. It may work it's way down or it might not. I know for sure if it comes loose I will never have this issue again because anti-seize will be used. I tapped with a dead blow hammer on the cylinder every way possible and nothing has worked yet. There has to be a solution because I have read this is sort of common. Just need more tips because it is bound to come loose at some point.

ha ha. Yeah. I finally got it to come off. I was able to easily remove the two lower cylinder studs but the top two were the ones with the corrosion. I used PB Blaster and a wrench on the side of the studs and hit the wrench to help shock them. I then used a pair of vice grips and a hammer to break them free. Then carefully used the vice grips to go back and forth to loosen the rust and after a while the two upper studs came out. What a pain in the butt. Sadly my induction coil broke a while back or they would have came loose a lot easier.

The classic remedy for stuck parts is penetrating oil + vibration.

Apply penetrating oil of your choice to all connections, and anywhere you suspect that adherence is happening. Wait for the oil to set in, then gently tap all points that were oiled, with a leather mallet (if you don't have one use a rubber or plastic mallet) or if you have something that vibrates (like a massage tool or even an oscillating multi tool without the blade) that could come in handy. Sometimes this will release the part right at first, but usually you'll have to repeat your application of penetrant and then wait for at least 30 minutes to an hour; then repeat the tapping/vibration. The penetrant will seep in over time. Read the directions on the bottle.

When you set up vibrations, it helps the penetrant to seep into the frozen sections of the part. You may have to repeat this process a few times. If after this, it's still stuck, you'll be obligated to try heating. Use a good heat gun on the high setting or use a propane torch like the old-timers used to; try tapping periodically during this process of heating. Restrict your heat application to only one side of the part, be careful not to heat the base as much as possible; you're trying to get only the stuck part to expand with heat against the base which hopefully will not expand and remain cool. Tapping with your mallet should help to release the stuck part.

Good luck with it.
