snitches get stitches

sell out

 

Truth. So who's pumped for mod day? That pb blaster style mix was acetone and ATF right Josh? Gonna pick up some cheap ATF and start soaking my shit Thursday.

 

Used ATF/Acetone, 50/50 mix last weekend for the first time
Very impressed, broke some seriously rusted nuts off with ease

 

Yep.




"Machinist's Workshop" recently published information on various penetrating oils. The magazine reports they tested these products for "break out "torque" on rusted nuts and bolts. A subjective test was made of popular penetrating oils, with the unit of merit being the torque required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" bolt. Average torque load to loosen nut:

No Oil used ........................516 foot pounds
WD-40 ..................... ........238 foot pounds
PB Blaster .........................214 foot pounds
Liquid Wrench ......................127 foot pounds
Kano Kroil .........................106 foot pounds
ATF/Acetone mix...................... 53 foot pounds

The ATF/Acetone mix is a "home brew" mix of 50/50 automatic transmission fluid and acetone. Note this "home brew" released bolts better than anycommercial product in this one particular test.
Our local machinist group mixed up a batch, and we all now use it withequally good results. Note also that Liquid Wrench is almost as good asKroil for 20% of the price.ATF/Acetone mix is best, but you can also use ATF and lacquer thinner in a50/50 mix. ATF = Any type of Automatic Transmission Fluid.

This version of the story was in one of the Military Vehicle Club newsletters

 

Wish I could make it my senior thesis is due monday.

 

I'm fully prepared to cut my shit off this weekend but it will be interesting putting this solution to the test with 180k on the suspension.

 

Been using it for years on the farm. Don't get me wrong it's not some magic loosen every bolt in the world stuff but it does work, in my opinion, much better than anything you can buy in a store.

 

If my parts arrive in time then I might go.

The people who are going down just to hang out should try to carpool with someone who is installing stuff. Parking is kinda limited and we got yelled at by one of his cranky neighbors last time

 

This is why we're mailing you our mod. We don't need him in cajunland

 

Be sure to skimp on the packaging and breathing holes

 

He would have been there sooner but he got pretty pissed when I tried to stuff him in a flat rate box

 

Yup.

 

Double

 

Just trying to make sure you arrive Jersey-ready, Brunes
