I've gone to candle wax. Gentle heating is all you need. You can literally watch it go into the threads.
Correct, WD is not a spray oil per say. Does have some oil in it. Mainly a solvent spray. Better than nothing, maybe??
Keep trying to remove the nut -- This will unscrew the stud that hold the cover on. Once off you can hold the stud and remove the nut. Yep that is a Honda thing. someone either tightens the nut more than the stud or the nut corrodes and the stud comes loose before the nut,

Just my 2cents, that stud I believe holds the ignition coil in place, be careful that you don't break the housing on the motor that holds that stud. Best answer is dremel a slot in top of stud and try and break the set on the nut. Otherwise, I'd cut the nut off to preserve the stud mount.

As stated before turn the nut until the stud backs out of the block. Working as a tech have done it many times and have never broken anything. Just when reinstalling the stud in the block be sure the coil hasn't moved just match the marks in the coil and the stud.
Sometimes those nuts can really be tight on the stud and it can be hard to hold the stud to loosen the nut.
If you do it this way you have no parts to replace not even the nut.
Just pull the whole engine shroud off so you can get to the underside and grab the stud. Recoils are repairable if you want to screw with it. After the recoil assy is off take it apart but watch how the spring is wound so you can rewind the spring. If it is not grabbing, cranking the engine, open it up. Their 3 or 4 balls in there that grab the spurs on the crank shaft. They usually get dirty and stuck and don't engage. Clean the inside thoroughly, dry and lube with graphite, and reassemble. Wind up the spring and re-install the rope and spring pulls it in. If it doesn't pull in all the way, start over and wind the spring some more. Oh, put on a new rope while you are at it!
If you saw the picture you see he is working on a HONDA the starter and fan cover are held on by the three studs. Often for some reason the nuts do not release and turn to stud out. Common problem and happens often. As I stated before keep turning the nut until the stud backs out of the block, then holding the stud remove the nut. As for the stater Honda uses two plastic lugs that are camed ant go out when the stater is pulled. Sometimes are overeager person ca destroy the stater by pulling quickly before the dogs are locked in. You know plastic doesn't take much abuse.
It is not the old Briggs starter you are referring to -- it has no balls.
