[Vwdiesel] What is the candle wax GP extraction trick ?

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

Best stuff I have ever used is called PBlaster.  I now use it 
exclusively to loosen rusted parts.  My neighbor has a Saturn and he 
couldn't get the left front brake disc off of the car no matter how 
much he pounded on it with a 4 lb sledge hammer, it was rust welded on 
the car.  He added all kinds of oils and even tried heating but it 
would not come off.  I went over, we soaked it with PBlaster and let is 
sit for 15 minutes.  One hit with the hammer and it came off.  
Excellent stuff if you can find it.  I get mine at Pep Boys.  Hayden
