A few weeks ago I used this stuff on some old rusty brake line fittings on my 1999 Suburban. I expected to have to cut those fittings out and flare some new lines to put it back together, but 5 minutes of this stuff on the fittings and they broke free with ease. I don't even have line wrenches either.

I tried this on my stuck bolts in the GS750 motor.

The primary sprocket cover bolt wouldn't budge even with vise grips attached. Spray some of this stuff on, waited 10-minutes and voila! Backed right out. :loveit:

The bolt stuck in the exhaust flange was another story. :boohoo:

It didn't help at all. :foul:

BUT! No stuck bolt defeats Wingfixer. :pyndn:

He stopped by last night with his case of secret tools. The bolt was too tight for easy-outs. :think:

So he drilled the DAMN thing out! I was amazed that just by eye-balling it he got the drill dead-center. :bow:

A quick pass with a tap and voila! I'm back in business! :rayof:

Thanks Wingfixer! You save my butt dude. :hi5:
