    I heard Acetone and Tranny fluid make a killer penetrating oil.

    I've heard great things about Kroil. One day I'll try it.

    But I feel compelled to point out the irony in their website.

    They have an independent research report link, when you click on it it leads to a PDF that has one page marketing information from Kroil, lol. Website in general is kind of hokey they're all about selling Direct, risk free trial, money back guarantee, order now! , As seen on TV...

    If you ask me, its Modern day Snake oil marketing. lol

    Bottom line for me is they say they've been in business since 1939, and that's saying something! They must have a product that works.

    yeah ill admit their website looks straight outta some old retired persons business ventura geocities account. haha

    That stated the shit works, and works well. I have heard that acetone and ATF does work wonders as well.

    i used a dremel with a metal cutting disc..... one side i cut into the nut a couple of times.... and was able to spin it off.. guess i soaked that one enough the night before. the other side i didn't soak as much and had to cut some more. was careful to not hit the disc below the nut since it was reused. worked well....

    A blue wrench works wonders to loosen things up.
