No experience here, but I'd try this.
Clean off the exposed threads with a can of starting fluid and a copper bristle brush if they are full of crud.
Use penetrating oil to break loose the collar, if the threads are still crappy, use a lot of lube/tap oil and gently run the collar up and down the threads, back off and clean up the chunks and try again if it starts to bind too much.
