Default PB blaster

what does it do? is it much different than WD-40? because i'm having the most hellish of a time getting my pass. side midpipe bolt off and i heard use PB blaster, but i'm already using WD-40 on it and wondering if it would make anymore of a diff. the WD-40 would. also where to buy it?

I think it is more powerful. You really need a breaker bar though. That's what I used.

yeah i tried using the breaker bar, after i was pushing as hard as i can and it came back slamming into my ribs i kind of said f*ck that haha, but i'll try the bar again, i think my main problem is clearance issues with my elbow, and i can't even see the threads on the end of the stud it's so rusted[:@]

PB actually eats through the rust. It's a lot better than WD-40 and much quicker. I use it all the time at work. However, if they're really rusted and stuck, you might need to torch them. I do at work, at least.

PB is like WD-40 on steroids.

Can you not get an impact wrench on there? That's probably the best thing for busting things loose.

Use some PB too.

yah that's what i was trying to use earlier, my main problem is the stud is covered in rust- can't even see the threads really, so i really need something that will eat up the rust so the bolt can actually move on the threads
