Everybody knows the oven is the best bet because you cannot put metal in a microwave silly.

Use PB blaster that stuff is the best. I was trying to take off my strut bolts on one of my old cars and I first tried liquid wrench and it didnt do any thing so I went to the auto parts store and seen PB and I was scepical untill I used it and now it is the only lube I will use.

yea i too love the PB i had used it in autos class and saw how good it worked and now i won't try a rusty bolt without a couple squirts of PB. the only problem is the odor that stays around for hours.

Yes, the PB Blaster is amazing. It is all I buy now. I don't think liquid wrench ever did anything for me besides make stuff oily.

I used to use this stuff called LPS they had different numbers for different uses. 1 was a silicone, 2 was like WD40, and 3 was the best penetrant and rust inhibitor in the world. Spray it on, count to 10 hit it once with a BFH and then turn the nut or bolt and it would come right out.

The best rust penetrant I ever used was at a dodge dealership, made for Mopar. I haven't been able to find anything even close, i think it was pretty much just graphite in naptha.

i have heard of using diesel fuel in the cylinders to free a stuck motor, dont know if it would work, never had to deal with that problem, p.b. blaster is some great stuff though, i beleive that stuff would work. had a clutch stick on a tug once that had been in some high water, had to loosen all the pressure plate bolts (you could access them with the inspection plate removed) and use a bottle jack agaisnt the ring gear, got it done but took a while.
