Nothing like the smell of "Kroil" in the morning !! The best stuff on earth
for almost anything that moves, slides, rusts, etc. A "must" for every
tinkerer. I bought some of their products 15-20 years ago and they send me
mail every 2-3 months. A great small company. I also use their Memogenda
(low cost, high value version of a Franklin Planner). I have an amazing
story on Kroil too. Bolts were froze on my exhaust system, sprayed Kroil,
waited 10 minutes and they came right out. Great company with excellent
products......

I dunno. I had some hydraulic hose connections which had probably been
together for 35 years - Kroil - nothing. Heat, more Kroil, nothing.
Repeat. I eventually found connections at either end beyond where I
needed to open it up that would move, got the entire assembly out, was
able to put 3-foot cheaters on the wrenches, and then they came free
just fine. No room under the tractor for 3 foot cheaters.

I also have tried it on a power steering cylinder anchor pin, with no
results. Shortly I'll try it again (having given it several months to
soak in), and I expect I'll end up burning the pin out (that's what the
dealer recommends).

IIRC, somone here claimed that you could make your own, cheaper, by
mixing ATF and a solvent. Not quite the same mix as Ed's Red (another
fine ATF-based recipe).
