exactly... extra force is not always a good thing...

i've gotten into the practice that if it requires anything more than 10% more force to take it out than it's spec... then the PB blaster comes out... I soak it... and go work on something else... or grab a drink. come back and usually good to go

I case you round off the head of a bolt, here's the easiest way to get it out. I've had to do some amazing things with these and they have NEVER slipped.

I had a bolt that we put 150ftlbs of pressure on to loosen... no luck... after trying 3 or 4 times with no luck with the spray sit spray sit... it still wouldn't bust loose... I soaked the fucker over night... came out... and was able to crack the bolt with the 30ftlbs it was supposed to be holding with... and use my fingers to remove it the rest of the way.

just be patient PB Baster won't remove busted bolts :lol:

That is actually a great tip for any penetrating oil!! Good going Ebbs! :dthumb:

The only thing better than PB blaster is Kroil... but it's really fucking hard to find and very expensive.

PB is good shit for 99% of things.
