I tried the flare nut wrench and liguid wrench penetrating oil. Maybe PB blaster or Kroil are better huh.


I found this while searching the net for oil comparisons. It is kinda off topic but interesting.

"The April/May 2007 edition of Machinist's Workshop did a test of penetrating oils where they measured the force required to loosen rusty test devices. Buy the issue if you want to see how they did the test. The results reported were interesting. The lower the number of pounds the better. Mighty interesting results for simple acetone and tranny fluid!


Penetrating oil . Average load to loosten. Price per fluid ounce
None ................. 516 pounds .
WD-40 .............. 238 pounds .. $0.25
