Harvey, I play with antique toys ('41 GMC is current project) and I have all those on the shelf(WD 40 & all). The one that has been working the best is CRC (brand) 5-56 that I am using for taking apart rusted 60 year old truck parts that were given to me (just pulled apart the axles and springs - no broken parts). There is also Gibbs Oil (www.gibbsoil.us ) that professional auto restorers use. fyi Gordon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harvey Wilson" <HarveyWilson@compuserve.com> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 8:50 AM Subject: Re: M_Boats: M-17 trailer wheels Hi Gary.. I've tried soaking the studs with WD-40, Kroil penetrating oil and a penetrating oil from W-Marine...all to of no avail. I've bent a tire iron or two in the past several years, and may try heating the studs with a propane torch when the weather gets a little better<GG> All in all, I may replace the whole shebang. I think that the tires are radials, IIRC, and W-Marine's wheels have bias ply<sigh> Harvey/Ga M-17 Stargazer #294 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
