<VV> Acetone and ATF

[DAN RORAFF]

Hi,

 

A while back there was a post about a 50-50 mixture of automatic transmission fluid and acetone used as penetrating oil.  It does work!  The hard part is finding a container to deliver it in.  #1 plastic (clear) is dissolved by it.  After years of trying to loosen the front strut nuts (one inch nuts), never had any luck.  Used liquid wrench and WD-40 and others over the years, no luck.  After soaking them down a couple of times over 15 - 30 minutes I was able turn them with a lot of effort.  The other problem is the smallest container of acetone I found was a quart.
