WD 40 will dry up and not break the bolts loose as quickly as using PB Blaster.

Try mixing 50/50 Acetone and transmission fluid as a penetrating oil. I read it online and was not a believer until I tried it.

Hi Mathew

I still have a load of ATF and about 500ml of acetone in the garage from a BSA Bantam project a few years ago....

Yes, it works.
