Any tips on how to get bolts off

I know that PB is the standard here and at a lot of other sites but, has anyone else used Deep Creep by Sea Foam? I have used it now for several years and actually did my own tests on problem fasteners and it seems to work much better for me.

I have just found this stuff recently and have been trying it. However my general first impresions are that PB is king, I do like how the Deep Creep is a foam and does nto run all over the place. I was told that ATF mixed with something, I don't remember what, was a good penatrating lube too.

YAY! :yelclap: Don't feel too bad I had a hub nut that broke 2 1/2 drive socket wrenches. I ended up cutting it off. Good thing the stub had a broken U-Joint in it!

Pb blast it for a week every night. Hit it with an impact. If it comes out just a ways. Then go back in and come back out. Keep trying that. If need be hit it with PB blaster again before proceeding. If it is an east coast rust bucket good luck.

If this is what you were talking about it isnt very clear.

I've never tried the wax. I have tried heat, PD rust blaster, and other stuff. The tighten then loosen also works to an extent. I'd do all three. Sometimes, I drill a hole through the bolt. This adds heat, the metal can colapse, also you can spray into a blind hole. Its a last resort though. I hear Kroil is the king of rust penetrants. Impacts sometimes do a better job than breaker bars. I had two harmonic blancer bolts on different cars, that were a pain. A good impact wrench (Snap-On) did the trick.

I've used PB blaster, and right next to it is a can of deep creep.
I like PB better for the hardcore rusted bolts, but it's some nasty stuff.
For something with just dirt/grime I use the seafoam, because it stays on the mess and dissolves all the grime/grease.
kroil is the bomb, but it's hard to get.

impacts a nice, but I've found that there are somethings a breaker bar just does better.
