[TMC] [Boatanchors] a stuck Jennings Vacuum Variable.

[Dave Harmon]

Nothing new about PB Blaster.....it's been around for years and years.
The main thing other than it DOES work is......it STINKS.....really bad.
I don't use it on anything that is going to be in the house or shop.
Works great on tower bolts etc.

All;

There is a fairly new product on the market named PB Blaster. It is a super
penetrant. Better than WD 40 or Liquid Wrench.. It is available in most Auto
Parts stores. Be sure to get the "PENETRATING' formula. You will find many
uses for it.

CAUTION; I HAVE NOT VERIFIED IF IT IS SAFE FOR PAINTED SURFACES.

Harold

I don't but perhaps some light penetrating oil into the thread mechanism?
Was it screwed into the stop hard?
