Re: WD-40 Versus the World of Lubricants

[Tom Watters <tomwatters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kroil releases rusted on better than anything I've found. When I rebuilt 
the front-end of the dart, it was the only thing that seemed to release 
the big bolt that was rusted into the Lowere Control Arm. I had tried 
everything from WD40, Liquid Wrench, and a couple strange things my 
neighbor had. Then my got some kroil from a friend. It was loose enough 
overnight that I could tap it out with a hammer and a 4x4.

I ran out of the little bottle of Kroil a while back and havent ordered 
more. No place sells it locally in Las Vegas, and havent ordered any. 
Think I saw it on Amazon recently. Last one I bought was Super Liquid 
Wrench (Has graphite in it). Not a as good as the kroil, but seems to 
work better than WD 40.

Havent tried the PB Blaster.
