howards11 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 If you need a spray lubrication like WD-40, I would strongly suggest using PB Blaster Penetrating Catalyst. I picked up the stuff at Auto Zone. It's around $4.00. So far I've used it on two problems and it really does the trick . It cleans the area and also lubricates it. The link for the company is shown below. http://www.pbblaster.com/ ~Howard :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99obw Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Your advice is spot on Howard, but comparing it to WD-40 is an insult to PB to say the least! Supposedly there are penetrants even better than PB, but I have yet to find one. Someone told me Kroil was better than PB, they lied. They talk about a penetrant on BITOG called Penetro 90 that's supposed to be awesome, but I haven't used it. FWIW I think PB is even cheaper at Walmart.

rallyruss Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 PB is good stuff. I feel that tri flow is better though. W/D 40 is rather crappy as a lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy777 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 triflow and pb blaster really are two different things... PB blaster is meant as a penetrating oil. In that respect it's the ****! Give it some time and it will unstuck those bolts that are severely stuck. Triflow is more of a lubricant. It has teflon in it, and I would use it over pb blaster if I wanted a lubricant, not a penetrating oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99obw Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 For a lubricant I typically use white lithium or LPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding LPS, I don't know where to get it. Someone I know gave it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
