Another vote for PB Blaster....great stuff....just spray whatever you need to loosen, let it soak overnight, and it works great.

PB blaster is awsome.
Mobile one has a better spray, but it is kinda pricey. Some gun shops have stuff that works miricles. What is it you can't put heat to? |

i tried the PB Blaster this weekend and it didnt do a dern thing. If im able i use my dremel to slice the nut open with the cutoff wheels and then i can usually use the usual methods to get the nut off.
Ive used liquid wrench and the clark version of penetrating oil and none of it really works spectacularly The PB Blaster does work well as a lube/coolant for when youre drilling

I've never had too great of luck with all the "liquid wrenches" out there, I've found that a good impact wrench or a good set of 1/2 in. sockets and a huge cheater bar seem to work best! good luck!

I like PB blaster, but for tough bolts, it helps to use it several times. Like once a day for two weeks, if you've got the time, it works. Otherwise I like a good Grinder.
Dremel cutoff tools work ok, but they take forever!! Happy wrenching

Best stuff I ever used FREE ALL. Used to get it from local NAPA before they closed. Now I get online. Kinda pricey but better than anything I have ever used, including PB blaster.

PB Buster is the Best.. there is nothing like it. I worked on a rusted bolt for ever used every tool available to me for about three weeks. I'd just work on it when I felt lucky but then I bought PB Blaster and within a couple of minutes I got it unstuck. That suff is amazing.

i usually spray them in whatever i have and let it soak a little bet and then try it, if that does not work and i am working on something that can withstand it i just tighten the hell out of it until it snaps in half and just buy a new bolt

Never heard of PB Blaster either.....who sells it...?
I went to a local muffler shop, figuring what they use should be good. But they said I couldn't buy the brand they use.

Kroil is awesome but pricey. That is what we use on Aircraft engines here as well.

Another vote for PB blaster, I spray it on my old rusty nuts and let them soak overnight. The next day, I have no problems getting them off.
