What is a PB blaster?

Righty tighty lefty loosey..........:surrender PB blaster but those bolts shouldnt be too hard to take off

GREG@94GT 04-03-2006 06:21 PM

heat it up...

they shouldnt be that hard to get out... maybe you should go do some push ups then give it a shot

Try harder hahahaha.

"Left loosey righty tighty"....that made my night :banana:

PB blaster is just like liquid wrench but way better. you can find it at almost any autoparts store

i don't think it's my weakness thats stopping that bolt from comming off. I'm 120 with 10% body fat and i can bench 205. I don't think I need to do pushups...

ill get a PB blaster or see my my exhaust guy will heat it up with a torch for me.

put a half inch rachet on that bastard then. that should break those bolts loose. they are probably 10mm just give a good hit on the wrench most times pulling isnt enough. you probably lack the fore arm fortitude.

spray the bolts down with PB and let it sit for 5-10 minutes..then give a try. try this before you go with a torch.

GREG@94GT 04-03-2006 11:23 PM

im like 5-6. I think i might get a PB blaster then. that would probably help me with other projects in future right?

PB blaster is great **** to have around the house anyways. 10x's better than WD-40
