I had a bike seat post completely frozen one time. Im not kidding, it was STUCK. Put the head of it in a vice and tried used the frame as leverage to get it out. The only thing that seemed to do the job was kroil. Pb for 4 days nothing. After 2 days the kroil broke it free. |

Aero Kroil and as much soak time as possible generally works for me. Patience is generally my problem.
If I can plan ahead, I spray several times a few days ahead of time. |

Yep. It is also the best for loosening up a stuck piston in a cylinder. Fill it up and let it sit for a few days. If that doesn't work then set it on fire and let it burn for a day. I have broke loose a lot of old engines that way. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Here's the thread from Garage Journal's forum showing a test run by Machinist's Workshop magazine of the various penetrants. The 50:50 ATF-Acetone mix seemed to work best: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=200247 Edited to add: the author of the test stated that it was actually power steering fluid, not ATF.

Another vote for Kroil. The key ingredient is oil of wintergreen. It's what the others lack. PB is my backup. Liquid Wrench is squirrel piss.

Ed's Red works great but the acetone WILL evaporate unless it is sealed very well. OTC Kroil works the best. Add an induction heater and there isn't anything you can't get off as long as you can get heat to penetrate. [induction heaters are the boss]

Would ATF and Acetone be the fluid to remove a suppresser from a host? It locked on with carbon.

I live in the rust belt and do a LOT of crappy mechanical work.
My first go to is heat. No you simple plebeians, not out of a propane bottle. I mean real heat. Oxy Acetylene. I do, of course keep PB around, but I reach for the torch set before I reach for anything else. But "Waaaahhhhhhh" you say. "I can't get heat where I want it"...... "Waaaaaaahhhhhhh"..... 
It's very rare that I can't get heat where I want it. |

No, can't hammer on the pins...easily deform, 
Oil does creep through the channel though. |

Changinig gears a bit--I want to mention penetrating lubricants (Kroil, etc. are NOT lubes). I ran across a product years ago called Breakfree PCL, advertised as a penetrating lubricant. Made and sold by the same folks who sell Breakfree CLP, of course, the gun lube/cleaner. We got a gallon jug of the stuff, it worked great in industrial applications. Rusty drive chains? Soak 'em down with the PCL, let 'em sit overnight, the stuff pulled out rust like crazy. I used PCL all over the plant, and encouraged my coworkers to as well. Great stuff. Well, after a year or two I couldn't find the PCL anymore, though there was still plenty of CLP around. I called up the maker one day, talked to some nice lady on the phone. I asked her about PCL vs CLP. She rather sheepishly admitted that they were the same thing, changing the name was just a marketing move. So we bought CLP by the gallon after that. It was about $70 a gallon, still worked as great as ever. I used it on everything from large format printing presses to CO2 lasers and embroidery machines.

I've had good luck with liquid Kroil, but one has to give it time to work. If significant heat is applied in order to undo a fastener, then all the components to which significant heat has been applied must be replaced. The application of significant heat to metals can change their properties, and for safety's sake, all such items must be replaced.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Those quick-tach pins can be a PITA. There are grease fittings on the sides of the carriage but grease just attracts grit that jams up the pins. I've taken to occasionally spraying the pins with WD40 or equivalent and they stay free. |

As also mentioned, ATF/acetone works well, and is cheap. The best stuff I ever tried is from AC Delco. But it's expensive and smells terrible, so I only use it as the last resort before applying heat. |
