Homemade PB Blaster??
I heard about using ATF and brake fluid mixed together as penetrent (PB blaster, WD40 = penetrant). Anyone used that?

You never run out of PB late at night and don't have a way to get the parts store? Use what you got on hand!

Sure, but when it's your only ride to work and it was only a 20 minute project that turned into a 5 hour evolution...

Yeah, used coke classic in a pinch to drop a buddies rear driveshaft after he twisted it up like a pretzel in the hills behind my house in So Cal. Worked wonders, and quickly too. But let me tell you, I stopped drinking coke after that night!!! Switched to Dr. Pepper
