I know those guides are only suppose to be torqued to 18 FT LB so it shouldnt need much but like you said after years of not moving it could be rusted up pretty well. Either way if it was me id use a cheater bar to get as much length as possible for better leverage. 24mm is a big hex so i dont foresee any stripping or issues from giving it a good amount of torque. Id personally stay away from using heat in that area but other people might say different.

Im actually going to be doing the exact same thing this weekend for the same reason. Let me know how big of a difference it made if you can. Im trying to track down my freeway wondering.
