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.
