And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I mention the fact that I have several types of extractors in on one of my posts on this blog. There is a little tip I forgot to share. I am a former Millwright. A few years back, someone in my profession invented a new kind of penetrating oil. It is simple and easy to make at home.
It beat WD-40, Break Free, Liquid Wrench and all others by a mile. In scientific tests, bolts that were rusted uniformly were used to measure the torque required to loosen the nuts they applied prior the rusting process.
The formula is a 50-50 mixture of acetone and ATF. Works like a charm. My theory is that the acetone eats the rust and allows the ATF to penetrate. Be careful because acetone is flammable, so factor that in while mixing, using and storing.
Too true. Been there too many times.

Just use straight ATF and let it sit overnight.
DeleteAuto tyrannies fluid, right?
ReplyDeleteThat is correct Bruce. ATF is an oil, but the active
Deleteingredient is the acitone. This desolves rust like
nothing you have ever seen.
Had to steal this. Thanks.
