If the sweeps are stuck to the bowl, it could be old grease that's solidified and some heat will/could loosen them up. If you're talking about the older thumbscrew underneath then yes, lots of penetrating oil and heat never hurts maybe with a small torch. The only thumbscrew sweeps I've ever tried to loosen I broke the screw and drilled out the whole thing then replaced with an entire new set of the modern version. If you could elaborate on exactly what is stuck, others may chime in with their experiences.
Post a pic or 2 for sure. I have never seen a kettle that new with such an issue.On older kettles, I just take a grinder/cut-off wheeland cut it off from the underneath side of the bowl.
