Help with frozen thread dial

[Tony Wells]

I have. As a kid, it was easier to get than most real penetrating oils, like Liquid Wrench, MicroMist, and WD-40....Kroil I hadn't even heard of until recently. The only problem with it would be that it contains no heavier oils for residual protection, but it did pretty good if soaking parts to loosen.

Like Tony says. I recently used a bucket of kerosene to soak a couple of motorcycle heads and loosen up the crud on them. It got the job done but then you have to clean them up and lube them afterwards.

I've tried that, the two don't mix. How is it supposed to work? PB Blaster, Kroil, GM Heat Riser Lube. The latter has been my favorite for years. It's sold by GM to free up rusted heat risers on cars.

Btw, I hear acetone & water is a good cleaner for polished aluminum.

I've never used it myself but I too have heard that acetone/atf is "the best".
