I need to remove the studs from the cylinder on my brothers 88 KDX. Man are they ever tight! I have had them soaking with a penetrating oil called Aero Kroil. I used it with good success when working on aircraft.
I was able to get one stud out by the double nut method. No luck on the others, it felt like the threads were about to go. I tried vise grips on one other but it is just going to tear up the studs.
Maybe heat next? Any other good penetrating oils to use??
Thanks
David
