I can't believe it gets better than PB Blaster. I had to take the cat off my 911 exhaust and it was impossible with the nuts/bolts dry. A spray of PB and bam, those things came off easily.

"The April 2007 "Machinist's Workshop" magazine comparison
arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants with the control being the torque required to remove the nut from a scientifically rusted environment" *The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50% acetone - 50% automatic transmission fluid. **Note the "home brew" was better than any commercial product in this one particular test. ***Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is about as good as "Kroil" for about 20% of the price. |
