Edit: I've used PB, I've used the red can of Rust Check, I even tried Quaker State One Lube, since it was kickin about, I used a torch to heat it up, and see if I could get it to wick in the PB blaster... They are hardened steel crush tubes over bolts/studs and of course the dealer never put anything inbetween, so they rotted into place. I've already caused part of the suspension mount buckletrying to drive one of the bolts out.
I refuse to pay the extortion they want to ship on Fleabay.
Depending on where You live in Canada.... You could have it shipped to an American address & then pick it up at the American address. I have some Canadian friends of whom do it for all the time!!

I' m a huge fan of AeroKroil, it changed my life after I unscrewed my PVC valve from my old honda. I use it for everything in the house an cars, I let it sit for a couple hour and works.
I just ordered the ned-deal.
I used it for the first time recently on a lower ball joint. a few hits with a hammer and no pickle fork required.

I had to take apart outdoor basketball hoop after 10 years. Bolts were all rusted. I sprayed Kroil on it and used my tiny little DeWalt 12V max impact wrench. I had no trouble at all taking it apart. I thought I might have to take out the big gun but the rusted 1/2 inch bolt head was no match to my baby DeWalt.
I did not even bother without Kroil. I sprayed it the day before and used the cordless impact wrench next day.
I also used Kroil on Maxima alternator adjustment bolt. I was warned by the mechanic that they always break. I had sprayed Kroil on it and the mechanic was able to save the bolt.

The parking brake equalizer frozen solid,this is a hollow tube with a nut at one end on a threaded rod.
This thing is fragile new never mind after 11 yrs of never being touched under the car.
Being right next to the tank a smoke wrench is out of the question.
I wire brushed it and spayed Kroil on it for 2 days then moved it with an open end wrench.
Unbelievable stuff! Since i started using it on bleeder screws and line fittings i haven't had one break yet,in the salt belt that's really saying something.

I had seen a half dozen Kroil on the shelf just today at my local Napa. I was pleasantly surprised to see that.
I wish I could find it at my NAPA. I want to try it and see if it works that much better but it gets expensive shipped to you I believe.
no luck so far, I'm still looking though
Kroil, like Kreen is a great product.
Yesterday, I went to a few "Garage Sales" and picked up some nice vintage Penn Conventional Fishing reels for deep sea fishing and trolling. Most, if not all, may have been bought years ago and saw limited use since they were still in their original boxes.
On some of these reels, the reel handles would not turn, the spool would not spin and the reel seemed all gummed up with sludge that had dried out and hardened over the years.
Most of these reels were kept in homes and not stored in the garage where they would corrode. Due to non-use in quite some time, the reel gears, bearings and levers did not operate smoothly.
I took these Fishing Reels home, opened them up and completely sprayed both sides of the inner reel plates down to the gears and bearings with Kroil. I let them sit for a couple of hours and sprayed them again. Lots of sludge, grime and grit came flowing out of these reels and I could finally see brass and/or stainless steel gears and parts. I sprayed the bearing housings on both sides and the sludge flowed out from these. Now the handles turn, the spools spin like a top and the gears are shining.
Kroil, like Kreen, must dissolve all the built up sludge, old hardened lube and grime that accumulated over the years.
Now, all I need to do is pull the bearings, soak them in some Kroil and see if they need replacing, put in new metal drag washers and fiber drag washers, re-spool with mono and they should be good to go fishing.
I don't know if another product would work the same on these reels....but I reached for Kroil and I got some great results. IMO...Kroil worked like a champ.
Now, I have 8 really nice vintage Penn Conventional Reels that only need some minor parts to work like new again.

Note that Kroil is a direct relative of Kreen. Both are amazing products under certain circumstances.

Yeah, the smell does seem to bring back another time and place!

Kroil is the standard for getting a leaded gun barrel clean.
I trade with Midway USA, they ship dang fast.
Here is a link to the Kroil

Yep i use it, it great on encased cables that you can use a cable lubricator on. The kroil gets through the rust and crud and the graphite provides some good residual lube.
