I never heard gibb's is it readily available? I plan on taking the bumpers off my Thunderbird soon, and I'm sure the nuts are on there pretty solid.

I would look at an industrial supply company like Granger or something like that. I have never seen it at a hardware store or anywhere but my long retired father's "company store". He got a gallon as retirement gift

and we are still using it today. A gallon should last you forever.

Aero-Kroil does have that smell that takes me back to the days as a kid hanging around the shop. Maybe thats why I always have it around. (Hoppe's No.9 has the same memory for me as well.)

Kroil really works.

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 finally had a chance to try the candle trick this weekend on the pinch bolt for the upper ball joints on my Explorer and it worked great.

Is there any certain type of ATF to mix with acetone to get the ultimate penetration oil?

Krol. It also doubles as a gun cleaner!
