I've got some Kroil liquid on the way, will let you know if I am amazed. Have been using PB for the last few years and it works well but to be honest # 1 or 2 fuel oil works about as well as anything I have tried and is a lot less costly
I keep a bucket around the shop for things that can be soaked. Mike |

I use a mix of diesel fuel and Marvel Mystery Oil. Then let soak for at least a day.

I use the spray cans, they usually have some deal where you get 2 from there site and save $. I've broken a fair amount of bolts over the years and have learned that patience is your friend! That and using all the tricks you can!
 I've learned that Two seconds of pushing to hard on a bolt, not using heat, or not soaking can lead to many many hours of BS and swearing! |

X2! E-Z out, from my one experience, means "take it easy", not that the tool MAKES it easy to get the broken bolt out.

Got a chance to test Kroil. When I started up my wood cutting jeep buddy a few days ago it had a noticeable miss, ran a few tests and #4 was at 60 pounds compression.
I pulled the fender off the drivers side and checked for a broken valve spring, no such luck, pulled the head and manifolds. Not sure of the issue yet but I have to admit that was the easiest one has come apart for me to date. No broken bolts or stripped threads. The wife rang the dinner bell before I pulled off the manifold but all the bolts and nuts are down to finger tight.   When old red is back together I will see what kind of luck I have on the next project. I picked up a ‘39 Farmall F14 awhile back and have a few nasty threads to deal with. I hope the Kroil helps with these.   Anyway thanks for the advice to give Kroil a try, seems to be worth the money. Mike

Art,
manifold and fender attachments including the down pipe along wth the other smaller parts to get the fender off. Not much you can do with head bolts except be careful.

Happy to be able to say these came out intact. I’m glad I gave Kroil a try.

I have used AeroKroil for years and it usually works for me.

I'm always finding something stashed in the shop by my late father in law. Today it was a couple of spray cans of Kroil in the back of the drill bit cabinet.

You have a drill bit cabinet?? I thought I had a bunch of drill bits in a drawer.  |

There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

Finally got around to starting on my exhaust down pipe venture.
Kroiled the nut and bolt threads on the rear manifold hardware and all the exhaust clamp hardware. Got the original exhaust all removed. Had to remove the fuel line from the carb to pump for drill access Center punched the broken bolt and drilled 1/8, 9/32, 3/16 with a WEN Angle head drill. Found that I was not centered so this is about as large as I can go without getting into the actual threads in the manifold. Tried a Rigid 3/16 screw extractor several times but it kept slipping so no go.  Anyone's thought to try next?  |

My final tool was a flat screw driver ground down to a wedge shape with sharp edges. Drove it into the hole in the bolt, pushed hard and turned slowly.

Art,
You might want to try using the “ rescue bit “ Ralf suggested for a broken head stud. I can’t seem to copy the link he posted but look in the general section around January 08 under head stud removal or broken head stud. Looks like a good way to ream out the rest of you broken bolt. Mike |

Yes they are, that’s why I don’t own any yet. Might be a good idea to check with Ralf and see how much life the cutting edge has. If they hold up well to use it might be worth it in the long run.

On which penetrating oil to use, I've read a number of threads (maybe some on this forum?) that have cited one or more tests which have compared different penetrating oils. I think Kroil has done well, but supposedly the best performer has been a 50/50 mix of ATF and acetone. I present that as hear-say that might prove helpful.
