I have made my own out of automatic transmission fluid (or power steering fluid) mixed with a bit of white spirit. I put it in a used kitchen cleaner spray bottle.

Also stuff like plus gas works well.

That sounds like a good idea. Thumbs Up

I will see if I have any white spirit.

How bad is my reputation getting? Don't answer that.

Been sleeping off the morning meds for 3 hours or so, so I have an excuse ... but I was seriously disappointed nonetheless to see this was a technical discussion.

Heat, spray (of any type), cool, heat, spray (repeat)!

I'm not convinced any penetrating preparation will actually penetrate a rusted or stuck fastener.

Those induction tools look the business but I believe they're silly money?

I've used localised heat followed by a freeze / penetrating spray (repeated as necessary) with good results.

You can get these "shock and unlock" sprays under various brands - I'm using Normfest at the moment as I got it cheap....

I couldn't find any ATF or power steering fluid. Anyway I have made a mix up using some old brake fluid.

Put loads of that on all the bolts to be undone.



That was a joke. DO NOT USE BRAKE FLUID

I used what I had which was 2 stoke oil. We will see if it works.

When you say "joke" do you mean "learning opportunity" , as in ... feck, why is all the paint coming off?

Never liked black anyway.

Will brake fluid work as a hand sanitiser?
