PB Blaster works pretty good.

Liquid wrench, 3 M spray, and Kroil oil are good. WD-40 is not a penetrating oil.

MGA do you have a specific shaft that you are trying to remove, pic? I keep a open top can with penetrant sitting at the back of my bench, It usally has somthing in it like a rusty tool, stickey pliers, a ratchet, etc, when I pull out the tool /part, I stick it in an empty can to bleed out, Itl last you along time,saving every drop,.you can buy a gallon at the auto parts store for about $25.00 E,J,

I use PB Blaster and also Kroil. Both are VERY good! The PB Blaster is easier to find in my area so I use that more.

lol...as a matter of fact, yes i do. i'm trying to remove a flywheel on an 18hp briggs engine that i acquired for my log splitter. it runs very well, however, i have to change the starter. to get the rear bolt i am trying to remove the flywheel. i tried Liquid Wrench with plenty of heat and no luck. i have the puller attached as per briggs instructions, but this is the worst flywheel i've ever encountered. it just refuses to budge.
since Kroil seems to be the favorite among you guys, i'm going to try that. Liquid Wrench was a waste of 5 bucks.
i've gotten into the habit of always putting anti-seize compound on anything i remove from an engine. (learned that owning an old corvette) i sure wish manufacturers did the same thing.

Viberation
Ive always thought VIBERATION was the # one enemy of any thing mechinical, or structural, And use it alot to get things apart,. I wood remove the puller, and take a large starter punch, (better than a drift punch), As your moter is sitting (shaft verticle), there is a raised portion of the flywheel, looks like about a half in tall,. using a large hammer, and a large starter punch, hit that portion of the flywheel, all the way around, with some pretty stuot wachs, HOLDING the punch horiziontaly, Then go around the raised portion of the hub, Holding the punch at a 45 degree angle, The viberation/force, breakes down the grip the flywheel has on the shaft, Now install the puller, put as much safe preload as you can on the puller, and using a large diameter shank, and hammer, Hit the end of the shaft/puller, area, If it dosent break loose keep it wet with a good penetrant, and try the viberation thing again tommorow, Good Luck, Eric

Klein tools used to have a real good spray can penetrant. Haven't seen it in a while since most of the electrical suppliers have gone by the wayside.
Use Kroil alot now.

Rust Reaper is the best stuff I've found. A small amount goes a long way so don't let the price scare you off. The stuff works and smells good too www.rustreaper.com
