Ahh.. nowadays when I see someone mentioning the torch it always reminds me of my youth and a certain car shop. I ordered them to change my anti-roll bar bushings. They ordered the wrong parts (my car then had 2 different choices on the same year model) and when I pass by the shop expecting the car to be delivered I see a mechanic blowtorching the end of the anti-roll bar red hot and hammering the burning rubber bushing on it.  :banana:

I use Freeze Off as well.   When I restored my CJ-7, PB Blaster was found to be inadequate.   When Freeze Off failed to work, I broke out the Torch.

Interesting, thank you.

Origins of WD-40 you might find interesting:

Quote
Larsen was attempting to create a formula to prevent corrosion in nuclear missiles, by displacing the standing water that causes it. He claims he arrived at a successful formula on his 40th attempt.[2] WD-40 is primarily composed of various hydrocarbons.

WD-40 was first used by Convair to protect the outer skin, and more importantly, the paper thin "balloon tanks" of the Atlas missile from rust and corrosion.[2][3] These stainless steel fuel tanks were so thin that, when empty, they had to be kept inflated with nitrogen gas to prevent their collapse.
