Patience, heat, WD40 (or penetrating oil of your choice). Brass drift and a ballpien hammer.
Chipped all the scale out of it with a small cold chisel. shot it every day for a week with WD-40 after heating it. At the end of the week, I started to tap the flapper with the drift and hammer. very moderate taps all along the flapper where it was against the manifold body.

looking forward to running a tank of kero through it just for giggles.
