50/50 acetone/atf, better than pb!
 
Hey, i just put shackles and new shocks on this monday. No broken bolts! I tried pb to loosen the shackle bolts for the last 3 weeks. I could only get a few turns before they would bind up from friction heat. Read on here somewhere about the acetone atf mix and decided to give it a try. Came off real nice and that was after only about 2 hours of soaking. Hit the shock bolts and no breakage. Kudos to the guy who first put it on:thumbsup:and THANK YOU! Original shackle bolts on an 88 to boot.
