    Hey guys, working on an old bike and some of the heads are stiff / rusted.
    i dont want to damage them or break then off.

    what is the best penetrating oil on the market as WD40 is like pouring water over them.

    somebody said Kano Kroil Penetrating Oil is the best but can it be got in Ireland ??

    cheers, all comments appreciated.

    If parts are stripped down I would sometimed use a bucket of diesel and leave them sitting a few days. A small bit of heat wouldnot go astray.

    I use Transyl which is available from many decent tool and DIY shops. WD40 is a second cousin of it but I'm not a fan.

    Use Diesel or Kerosene, WD40 is not much use as a penetration oil IMO.

    best tool for loosening nut/bolt is a few belts of an impact driver first followed by good quality socket, after you soak the area with penetrating oil or diesel for a week or two initially. Depending on location of offending nut or bolt some localized heat can help to unbind the thread, but be careful of warping parts or melting O-rings or being near flammable stuff. (Always have a fire extinguisher handy in the shed)
