    Interesting DIY test on penetrating oil. Guy has some other neat videos, something to watch when its too cold to wrench!
    Part 1

    Part 2


    Note the neat torque meter!

    Informative; I like "any penetrant better than nothing"..... Heat seems also to be a good friend. Info all of us can use; thanks for sharing!

    I PB blasted the hell out of the three bolts that hold the battery tray to the core support, yesterday and will give it a week to soak.

    I'm hoping the extraction sockets Dave Johnson let me borrow prove as fruitful as the dozen or so videos I've watched with guys using the same ones.

    This video is encouraging:

    I thought the project farm guy was funny when he said "who would wait 3 hours for the oil to work?" - we wait days!!!

    Brett, those extractor sockets work great. I only wish they had ones you can tighten worn out bolts with!

    Seems the consensus says they're very effective. I'll be tackling it later this week.

    Brett - they still need heat and or oil. They are best where the head of the bolt is ruined.

    Drenched them in PB Blaster Sunday. Top and bottom.

    How long would you let them soak?

    I'd give it a week. Keep reapplying the oil! I had to drill mine out...
