Subaru_dude Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 anybody ever heard of Zep? Prestige carries it down here, they work on Hondas and Subarus for the most part... it's $10 a can. I'm wondering if it would help me get my gal darn rear axles out? and it seems my whole front end is locked up in rust... lol. PB blaster seems to work to an extent... thanks for the help guys.

idosubaru Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 i don't know about Zep, but the liquid wrench and PB blaster seem about equivalent for the uses i've put them too. both much better than WD40. i have two stuck roll pins on rear axles, quite annoying, i need those axles!

Jibs Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I've used PB Blaster with pretty good results, on little stuff for the most part though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northguy Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Edrach sent me some stuff (can't remember the name right now) that is the cat's meow. It's much better than PB Blaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86 BRAT Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 pb blaster for me on nuts and bolts, but if you want to stop rust on sheet metal use osfo. (short for osfuric acid) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WagonsOnly Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Trizol! http://www.sterifab.com/trizol2.html Best stuff I've ever used for rusted bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_dude Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 anybody ever heard of Nut Cracker? made by Rubber-Seal... non-silicone rust penetrating agent. $7 a can, not bad. the mechanics where I thought it from said it was the best stuff they had ever used in their lives. it better be good... lol. Wish me luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_dude Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Okay, PB Blaster sucks. I'm never buying another can of this stuff again, lol. The tie-rod end popped right off... and as for the whole bearing assembly, which I've been doing war with for a few days, it came right out. All the bolts popped right out, even the ones I had already stripped. I still have yet to go at the rear axles... I'll do that later on this evening. As for right now... I gotta go get a 7/32 punch and a bigger hammer. THE SUBARU HURSE OF DEATH SHALL SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY ANY WEEK NOW. MWA HA HA HA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOBOUTLAW Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I like PB Blaster, but used to have some stuff called Aerokroil. I think they're similar, same color and fragrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 At my last job, we used Zep 45 rust penetrant. Seemed to work okay, but I'll stick with PB Blaster. And yeah, that Yeild stuff was great.. Would like to get another can or two of it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthenium Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 The Best thing I have ever found for freeing rusty nuts, parts is sold on a Maserati web page. I used to have a pair of old BiTurbo's, and I used this to get the brakes, exhaust, and turbo fasteners to come off. It REALLY works good! Kinda pricey, but anything Italian that ends in an "i" usually is. http://maseratinet.com/SPARE_PARTS/perfenhance_Biturbo.asp Fat Tony - http://www.smashbandits.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
