This is the second time

that using gasoline works better then penitrating oil. I finally got the 3/4 adjusting bolt out of the coil spring on the baler. Finally got it to move quarter inch. Kept going back and forth while dousing it with penitrant. Just wasn't making much headway. Then filled a squirt oil can with gasoline and used liberally. The I started gaining a round on the wrench each time. I'm trying to post some pics.

now i know its on a baler. many times using an air hammer punch on them sort of things works pretty good with lube . just keep hammering at it and the vibration is the trick.

The gasoline sure doesn't hurt, and probably carries some of the other juice with it. Jim

Now that you have it loose, put Never-Seize on it.

Done

That sure isn't much of a weld holding that pipe on. Might want to fix that before it breaks.

Brake Fluid works very good on rust. I have a squirt can that I keep around just for things like that. Really rusted bolts sometime I let it set overnight.

Looks like it's cracked around the weld

It's just cold lap and very little penetration.

Penetrating juices work on capillary action to draw it into the gaps. The thinner it is, the easier it will flow into tighter gaps. There is a favorite concoction of ATF & Acetone. My thoughts is that the Acetone thins the ATF, allows it to flow into a tight gap, then the Acetone evaporates, leaving a heavier fluid to lubricate the joint.

Glad the gasoline worked for ya !

I was fighting a rusty nut for two days one time. I tried all kinds of tools, and wrench cheaters, and heat, and penetrating oils giving them time to work. Finally I squirted some tomato juice on it and it broke free.
