The spray stuff to use is called PB blaster, available at most any auto par=
ts store or walmart. Works great, probably 10X better for looseing stuck pa=
rts as compared to standard WD-40 spray. I recently used PB blaster on a ve=
ry stubborn tie rod that wouldt budge after propane torch treatment. Soaked=
 the threads overnite in PB blaster and the tie-rod came apart relativly ea=

Isn't there a spray called anti-seize or something which you spray on
stuck bolts and after a while it will loosen them up ?
