Today I was removing the wheels from an old truck that had been run for years on salted roads. I could barely move the lug nuts with a heavy four bar lug wrench with a pipe "cheater" I loosened the lugs one turn and soaked them with Kroil.
One hour later I unscrewed the lugs with great effort. The outer half inch of the lug stud was rusty and totally dry. How come the Kroil did not soak into the loosened nuts? I wire brushed everything and put on a generous coating of never seize so I never have this situation again.
