R. L. Addison 299 #4 Posted August 29, 2017 I had one on a C141 that i broke several 1/4" bolts trying to pull, and finally wound up using 1/2" coupling nuts with 1/2" set screws with 17/64" holes drilled in them and pulled against 1/4" SHCS (allen head bolts {grade 8 standard}) and I won the argument, as this set-up broke loose the roots that had grown over a period of almost thirty years and the pulley yielded to my wishes. I enjoy challenges, and will post pictures of some of my solutions when I can become a supporter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texas Todd 1,024 #5 Posted August 29, 2017 Make up your own penetrating oil with 50/50 acetone and ATF. Works better and cheaper. Give it a douse with a pump oiler the night before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
