Try some Blaster 16-PB used it on some brake connectors that were rusted up and obviously delicate they released easily after two days soaking. 2012 tdv8 Westminster arrived Jan 19 gone Dec 23

This. It may not be obvious to the uninitiated, but better tool access makes a world of difference! Great tip! ![]() EDIT: He means the Steering Wheel ![]() ![]() ![]() |

A retired mechanic neighbour swears by Plusgas as the best penetrant and it's all he uses now restoring old cars. 2012 4.4 TDV8 Vogue Santorini black ivory leather |

Another for Plusgas, I also love the Homebrew as detailed 50/50 Acetone/ATF.
