There are a few good ones around. PB works good as a rust breaker. Not a good lubricate. You have to be careful with it on some things. I got some of it on a Craftsman trouble light and it desolved the plastic. Fell to the floor and broke into a million pieces. It just crystalizes plastics. Marvel Mystry oil works good if you have a lot of time. WD-40 is terrible compared to most others unless it is just a quick fix and you don't have anything else. Most sprays with silicone in them are good for lubrication that last. Also sprays with the graphite which I use on garage door rollers are good lubricators. Lots of good ideas here. If all else fails, soak it in water. I have tried that on carburators and it works after 3 days. It froze it up and broke it loose after years of setting around.--deadeye
