We start by heating a stuck bolt until it's red, and then we hit it with a quick shot of WD-40. It smokes on contact, but it wicks into the threads and contracts the fastener. The stuck bolt will usually unscrew without much effort. Be cautious if trying this method, and always have a fire extinguisher handy.

WD-40 used to be the cleaner of choice for the machinery as well. It would cut the grease off the outside of the machines quite well with a quick wipe. Anything really bad would get the Castrol Super Clean. |

krudd kutter is my cleaner of choice..
my boss had me remove the viynal decals off the work truck with a heat gun.. it worked, it removed the black viynal from the glue, but left the glue on the side of the truck.. a good spray of krudd kutter, wait 2 minutes, and spray again, wait another 2 minutes and with just the smallest amount of effort the glue just came right off with a rag.. |

went by hf today to look at a new electric drill and a tap kit..
saw they had those cable lube tool things, so i picked on up for 4.39 after tax.. man it is nice and makes the job so much easier.. takes less then 15 seconds from the time you start the spray to the time its oozing out of the end of the cable.. did my clutch cable and the lube coming out the end of it on top of the motor side case flowed out rust colored for a good 30 seconds.. nasty.. doing my throttle cable agian tomorrow |
