I've been breaking bolts loose doing my lift and I sprayed everything down with pb blaster and so far so good. All my rear upper shock mount bolts came out in one piece

I've never had any luck with pb blaster.... I've seen a link on another forum about a study showing that liquid wrench is the best, and after using both pb blaster and liquid wrench, I'd have to agree

PB Blaster was what I used until last week.

My buddy had a can of Kroll hidden in his locker at work. he pulled it out and sprayed some bolts I'd been working on for a bit..... wow, that stuff worked fast! He said it's almost $20.00 a can though...

He has to hide it from all the other mechanics

Default penetrating oil deal...

I just ordered two 13 oz. cans from the kanolab website.

They're selling the 2 cans for $16.95 shipped.

I'd agree with most of the options listed thus far, as I have used most of them, and with good results.

To add one though, SeaFoam Deep Creep has always done me a good job.
