Its a plus one from me for the 50/50 brake fluid acetone mix. If difficult to source locally acetone is available here: http://www.ecfibreglasssupplies.co.u...0-acetone.aspx from £3.85 for 500ml up to £169 for a 205L drum with various sizes in between. Mind you I seem to recall I only needed 204L when removing the lower hub pinch bolt. Last edited by brianw; 2nd June 2016 at 17:09.. Reason: add link |

Thanks, I've bought plusgas, and been spraying with that. But I may have the ATF + acetone on standby, easy to get hold of for me, work in a chemical plant so we've got literally tons of the stuff, reclaimed and pure... If anyone local ever needs any very good 2 part adhesive, resin or some body filler...

Thread moved to a more appropriate forum. Re-direct left in old. This may be the better forum as threads get ‘lost’ very quickly in the General Forum.

I have just noticed I said brake fluid in my first post. It works the same but, ATF is kinder to any paint, thinking of it I have 5 litres of dexron in the shed so I must get some acetone and mix a new supply. Here is the results of a comparative test that I found: **Machinist's Workshop magazine tested penetrants for break out torque on** **rusted nuts with significant results!** **They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants with the** **control being the torque required to remove the nut from a** **"scientifically rusted" environment.** ***Penetrating oil ...... Average load*** **None ....................... 516 pounds** **WD-40 ................... 238 pounds** **PB Blaster .............. 214 pounds** **Liquid Wrench ..... 127 pounds** **Kano Kroil ............. 106 pounds** **ATF-Acetone mix....53 pounds** **The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic** **transmission fluid and acetone. Note the "home brew" was better than any** **commercial product in this one particular test. Our local machinist** **group mixed up a batch and we all now use it with equally good results. ** **Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is about as good as "Kroil" for about 20%** **of the price.** **Happy knuckle busting !* Food for thought! A decent two part adhesive, and epoxy resin very interesting. |
