rustyedge1 182 #1 Posted November 1 I’ve tried PB Blaster for a day now with light heat from propane torch and can’t get it to move any. Any ideas or advice welcome. Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 9,472 #4 Posted November 1 @rustyedge1 2 things , KROIL PENETRANT , have something immovable you can secure that to ? like a chain winch ? 18" pipe wrench inside a long thick walled pipe , solid mount , creeping lubricant and , leverage , will probably move it , you can really load up a frozen anything , with leverage . worked with a pipefitter for years , solid mounting , and long leverage pipe wrench , thats what i think , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 3,649 #5 Posted November 1 Smother in anti-seize and heat with the propane torch again. The stuff will melt and run down in the threads. I used to use it on EGR fittings a lot. Be careful to not over-heat it or you will bake it and then make things worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had really lubed it up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 9,472 #12 Posted November 3 @rustyedge1 li SUPER LUBE HYDRAULIC OIL would be very good for that , local H/W store has it in small tubes , spray cans , also have that in every related , cable slide point , choke / throttle , check out the extreme temp ratings on it , every one of my cables , has a light spring pull to assist closure ? that way every time you engage it , you are helped . look at the cable mount end point , usually has a small holed plate , thats where I have my spring assist pull . easy to mount a pull point to a near , bolt / screw , also have small stripes of PRORATED , steel , for that spring pull cable assist . once you set this up , and verify function , you will add it to related areas , typically , go after REPEDITIVE PROBLEMS , its always there , why not make it better ? just my view on things , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
