Yeah, between the rusty nuts and Pahaska's navel jelly, it really sounds like something your doctor should have a look at.

Sounds bad.
Maybe they will need to operate!

So, Tim, have you gotten your trailer's nuts off yet? Did you have to use a splitter, or the navel jelly?

Safari Tim · 03-28-2005, 01:55 PM

I have everything on order. The new shocks are coming and I ordered the Aerokroil from kanolabs.com.

I'm not going to attempt the replacement until after the NorCal Rally on 4/8.

Tim,

Where did you order the shocks from?

Safari Tim · 03-28-2005, 03:08 PM

Oasis RV at www.oasisrv.com. They were about $34 each.

The Aerokroil folks called me up before filling my order and wanted to know what I was doing with their product

I told them I was removing some rusty nuts

on a shock mount and he wrote it down and said that was ok.

Said they had a California forumlation that he could send me

Which probably means it's not as good as the regular stuff.

So, if I wasn't removing rusty nuts with the kroil, what else would I be doing with it?

Man that is wierd! Don't drink it!

I've had some luck with WD-40. I pre-treat the whole thing the night before and again the day of. So far so good. I think most of what's been covered would work better, but if you have some WD-40 handy, you could try that first before going out and buying some "stuff".

Safari Tim · 03-28-2005, 03:49 PM

Your probably right. I just want all my ducks in a row before I started the project.

The can is only $8.50 so if it works as good as they say, it would be worth it.

But I didn't know I couldn't drink it before I ordered it

I think I'll spray some on my cat first to see how he reacts

Use it to scent your plastic worms?

Umm, you can try something I really like, called Howe's oil. As far as I know, it is available online, a half gallon is around $25.00, and should last you for years. I use it on all sticky or rusted parts (and I get a lot of them).
My breakage rate using this stuff is around 10%, versus around 40% using most other penetrating oils. Oh, and it has a pleasant scent, so maybe you could also use it as a deodorizer...

Oh, yeah, here is their website:

You can get a spray can from your local Truck stop, if you don't want the giant ecenomy size.
