Already had a can of WD40. Don't worry as acetone+atf still better than WD40 by two places. If you open the stuck plug, it will pay you back in multi-fold. Hope this does the magic and Pathy gets new plug soon. Just an idea: Maybe you can use torque wrench to limit the force than breaking the plug, so when torque wrench slips keep pouring the penetrating solution every 30 minutes. Only catch is to find the plug breaking torque.....! Shouldn't be very difficult though. 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Rahimdad Posted August 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 True that @desertdude. I will be taking it back to @shadow79 this evening and leaving my Pathy in his capable hands. Hope he can save me the cost this time around as I am short of cash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 WD40 is a lubricant, it’s not a penetrating oil. If you’re looking for penetrating oil in a can, Plus Gas is the best but I’ve never seen it for sale in uae. WD40 is good for squeaky hinges and making plastics shine temporarily but as a penetrating oil it’s useless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahimdad Posted August 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 What about brake oil? Will that help? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikumar Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 As I know brake oil is like a paint stripper. Might cause corrosion. So not sure if it can be used 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
