I'm a liquid wrench guy, that's just the way I roll.

Used ATF on its own once and was surprised how good it worked.

Hmmm... No comment on the effectiveness of foul language?

I'm gonna mix up some ATF and acetone!

Heet is the best when you can use it without burning the whole car up.
Bad language usually results in broken studs.

Following up on the thread, diesel fuel oil was pointed out as being a very effective penetrating oil as well...

I used them all . I got one for you! If you can get to the frozen nuts& bolts try dripping hot candle wax on it & it works as good if not better. Hard to belive but this is a old school trick. I am from Missouri the "show me state" & it showed me!

I like the Kroil, or Mouse Milk.

Since we have lots of it at work, and are forced to observe the expiration dates, I usually end up with some that I am forced to remove from the workplace. Drat...

I like banging on stuck fasteners with a BFH.

Percussive maintenance.

If it jams, bang on it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
