Need sage advice on how to removing an old leaking hot water shut-off
valve and salvage the nut. Can't budge the nut and has bimetal
corrosion. Would anything work better than std penetrating oil or
WD40?


Oh god, it's happening.

Jon -- running towards the bunker with reckless abandon, every man for
himself, leaving the room frozen in time, exactly as it was before my
hasty departure, as the sound of a well-practiced sequence of no less
than one-half dozen commercial-quality deadbolt locks can be heard
engaging structural steel jamb risers from a military-grade reinforced
door.

In the distance, a solitary hand can be seen slowly reaching for a
half-empty can of WD-40, unaware of the sequence of events it has
brought into motion, the consequences of which will be felt for
generations to come.
