Bill, while I'm certainly no expert, I seem to spend way too much of my life working on rusted up junk, errrrr uhhhhh machinery! I've tried nearly every pentetrant known to man, and most are as bad or good as the next. The key to using penetrants is long term soaking. The suggestion of heating and application of candle wax, works better for me, however I find that after heating if I apply beeswax it saturates the threads better than candle wax. The crowning glory to my trilogy of rusted parts removal, is the impact wrench. Best case scenario would be, soak with penetrant, preferably non flamable, allow to soak as long as possible. Heat with a torch, apply beeswax, and after several heating and cooling cycles, sic an impact wrench on that puppy. I'll bet a wire wheel will make most of them bolts re-usable. Good luck Ron
