So after two hours of trial and error here is what I personally came up with. I know it's ironic that I'm now answering my own question but hopefully this will help others who come across a similar situation. I saved the body in question as a .step file. I first made it into its own component but I don't think that matters. Unfortunately, .step files don't copy over the history of the part, but it was able to disassociate its self from it's parent parts (that I think were the trouble parts). I was able to scale this file however I wanted once it imported back into fusion. This was great because I'm able to still modify it as a solid, as apposed to a mesh. Sorry to not give more details but I can't share the part. Hope this situation helped others as well.
