i know many of you guys do alot of work on your own equipment, so what type of penetrating oil have you found, in personal experience, to be the best to remove old rusted bolts or shafts?

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,
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.

Have you tried getting tension on the puller and then a heavy hit on the puller?

yep...used a copper mallet.
the puller has tension on it now. i don't want to apply any more because the bolts might rip the threads out.
in fact, you can see the bar bending slightly from being so tight. i'll try the Kroil or the other stuff the guys have said to use and let it soak over night.

Use a large steel hammer, the soft copper has only a fraction of viberation ability as a steel hammer,. Eric
