Stuck cylinder ( in the past), & now lots of rusty and corroded bolts on my 8N steering knuckles that I am trying to loosen to put new seals to hold grease. Best suggestion is to use something called KROLL (spell??) OIL. Comes in a orange can. Does any one know where this can be purchased. Tried TSC & two good auto stores who have heard of it but can't get it. Any ideas appreciated THANKS

I worked in a machine shop through high school and college - if something was stuck and we couldn't get it loose with Kroil then the next option was generally the blue-tip wrench and a hammer. Lately I've been getting by with WD-40 but there is no comparison.

THANKS< I just ordered 2- 8oz cans from galesburg electric supply . Pricy but their web site (kroil) was down and the other two immediate suppliers sites were also having problems, so I am sure this is a good product. Thanks again

Another more industrial type, reeks like it's got some volatile organic compounds in it.

I have found it on the shelf in a few places, white and red can at least.

This one is pretty good, at some point I think they're all snake oils, but in places where you can get it to sink in, it works well, I found an old bronze bell in an old farm dump, turned it up side down and the cast iron piece that makes it ring was encrusted and seized, it freed up, so has many coarse threaded fasteners. I think the price is ok, one can lasts a long time you don't need much, it does seem to wick in without a lot on the floor.

Kroil is sold by Eastwood out of Pennsy.If you spray Liquid Wrench and PB Blaster together that works well.I have the Kroil but paid 11.00 per can.For 18 dollars I got Liquid wrench,PB Blaster and Sea Foam spray.Ive used all on rusted bolts and they all worked well.I never try to wrench the day I squirt.I let it soak in for a day and tap with hammer lightly.In a jam just mix laquer thinner and trans fluid.The trans fluid is approved by Old.Kroil seems to be mail-order only.Good Luck.

Kroil isn't the miraculous penetrating oil it's bragged as being. It's no better, and no worse, than most of the others.

Honestly, one of the best spray can versions I've ever found is the teal green canned Liquid Wrench. That's the one with teflon. It penetrates as well as anything else, but most importantly, it doesn't gall up and jam the threads a quarter turn after breaking free.

For once I can agree with every one below . Kano Labs have some of the best products for the Machine repair and restore orientated useages of any Mfg. I use their products all the time. Forget WD40. PB Blaster is a close second in my opinion.JC

Best stuff I've ever used! We used it on 6" dia carbon steel turbine studs that'd been torqued to 2K+ ft lbs at close to 1500� for 10 years! According to the lable, it'll penetrate a 1,000,000th inch crack. All I know is that it works! We're talking MAJOR "Blue Blush" and rust, too!!!

I think the term "blue blush" is mostly used in the power industry - it's the HARD carbon deposite left on surfaces (and in threads!) when the carbon bakes out ot the base metal due to extended exposure to high temps.

Here's the link ->Link

The>Link best back up I've ever used is PB Blaster if you can't get Kroil quick enough - most hardware/ auto supply places here carry it but just in case, here's their link -

Link

Good luck!

You have to buy it direct from Kano labs in TN. www.kanolabs.com. You order it and they send it to you. Good stuff, I really like it. Jim

Gun shops often stock Kroil.Kroil products cost more but they work.
