Anyone ever use this?
I am looking for something to start soaking down the 4 nuts on my KW Radiator lower tank, in prep for replacing the flange pipe.
Many times guys remove these and pull the studs out with it, damaging the tank.
I had been using PB Blaster but it evaporates.
I am looking for something that will stay oily and soak in, then I can touch it up every few days to keep it working.
The bolts I have are not horribly rusty but still from 1999.
I dont want to have to replace my tank and heating the nuts up too hot will damage the tank.
Any thoughts on this or something better?

Kroil is the bomb.
-
The first time I tried kroil was the last time I used anything else ....
My father showed me the stuff years ago and I've never looked backlosttrucker Thanks this. -
Kroil is some good stuff.
It took about 3 days on an ancient logsplitter muffer that started to collapse trying to get it off dry...love it. -
Kroil is great stuff a tool maker i know band the stuff from his shop because his guy's would do gov jobs at night and spray the stuff any every thing and if there was any chips in the paint say on a lathe or miller it would creep along the metal and a month or two later big sheets of paint would lift off. I was spraying it on everything when he told me so we took a hood of a pickup out of the scrap bin and he took a screw driver and gouged the paint down the middle and we sprayed it with kroil and leaned it up against the back wall of the barn and in two weeks a 6inch wide swath of paint was lifted off!! So the morel is be careful were you spray the stuff cause it does creep!!!!
Hanadarko Thanks this. -
Take a small hammer and tap the bolt heads after you spray them. The vibration will work the penetrating oil into the threads. I did a 359 some years ago and every bolt but one came out.

.....see, thats what I figure will happen to me -
Get a nut splitter and split the nuts before you ever try to remove them. The you can chase the threads and install new nuts.
