Arrow nut and bolts freeing agent

We use all types of Kano Labs products on the farm, especially AeroKroil. I've also got some Lubricone from Kano that I'm going to use on some sealed bearings. I've also got Ex-rust and Weatherpruf which I spray on round-baler belt crimps so they don't rust and break in the middle of the hay field. Aerokroil is by far the best when compared to WD40 and others.

I have had nothing but good luck with various products from Zep. Not sure if they have a website, as I get my supply from the local farm supply house. Zep has a full line of auto/truck supplies.The ones I've tried have worked well. I am going to sneak a candle out in the shop and give that a try the next time I have rusted parts to remove. Seems like around here bolts don't have time to rust as they're always being taking out and a repair made then put back in or replaced.

Since finding Texas Refinery Corp., I have used their Super-EEZ penetrating oil exclusively. It has failed me once in 16 years, and that time I didn't give it the overnight treatment.

Talking about the candle trick...I have done this for some time with Super-EEZ. The propellant is non-flammable, unlike some others that use propane, butane, etc.

So all I do is heat the parts to a point where it does not ignite the oil in the spray, then quench the parks with a stream. Usually a low "black heat" works best. Sometimes a propane torch is all that's needed, unless there is a lot of mass in the parts to be freed. Sometimes a second or third treatment is necessary.

For lubricating only I use their aersol spray Moly Chain oil.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Liquid Wrench by Gunk, my dad was using it since I was just a lil daffer, also Whiz Super Loosen-All Penetrating Oil. depending on the application sometimes it's faster/easier to tighten and break instead of loosening, i/e old exhaust clamps.

No stickies at the moment... You could check thru and make sure they are both mentioned in the Garage Forum FAQ thread linked in my sig (the old sticky). Maybe add the link in your sig.

I usually use liquid wrench by GUNK. I like it because it's not flammable, so if you use it in an area that might get really hot.... well you know the rest. Plus if I need to use a torch in that area.... well you know the rest to that one also.
