==best penetrating oil---
While working on our trailer this weekend, I had a neighbor stop by and ask about the best penetrating oil...
My guess was that it was PB Blaster... does anyone have somthing better
Heat doesn't count.[/i]

There are plenty of good oils, the best is the one you have handy.
I'm kind of fond of Kroil, but haven't bought any in a few years.

Yeah some may call it overkill, but you can't have too much overkill.

Ther are a lot of good ones. Some have specific use methods. Parrifin is one of the best for getting out stripped studs. Heat the stud with a torch. This expands fissures. Rub/drip parrifin on it. As it cools and contracts, the parriffin is pulled into the fissures. A couple raps with a malle while this is happening...and 90% of bolts/studs twist out. The PB blaster is very similiar in function and content save for the PTFE in it. Ray
THAT is a great one...John W. Kelly wrote:Hillbilly oil!
In a pinch, I have used brake fluid. It is a skinny oil and it kreeps into the threads. Better than nothing.
Works really good at like the U-pullem part's places, there are lots of master cylinder's around with fluid in them.

best lubricating oil
I agree with Manny. Mouse Milk is the best I have found. Leaves almost no residue for dust to stick to. I believe it is intended for airplane control picots and cables.
