spankis Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Explain this "average load" term to me? Perhaps I'm missing something but I'm not sure what that's a unit of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'm assuming its a measurement of how much torque - effort - is minimized by using each fluid listed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 On a related note, I hosed down an O2 sensor in my truck with PB Blaster over the weekend and let it soak for an hour. It had been in place for 258,000 miles and came right out. I was amazed. Is average load maybe force required to "break loose" some test unit when treated with each? Not sure if it's a reduction in force or a flat amount of force required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good info to have. I've never really like WD-40 except to remove glue I've always used liquid wrench. Will have to try the ATF-Acetone mix though. Sounds good.

Casper Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 I have to throw my vote in for PB Blaster. I've used that shit more times than I can count. It'll get anything loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 The ATF-Acetone mix is supposed to be amazing. It is part of a chemical reaction between the two ingredients, so you have to mix it right before you apply it. I guess it bubbles and all kinds of stuff. Hooray science!

xlr8tn Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 pb blaster here too. That average load is kinda throwing me too. Let's say that's the amount of force required to loosen the bolt that was previously at 516. Is that telling us the lubrication factor of the fluid or is that telling us the penetrating factor? Know what I'm saying? Using that list it would look like liquid wrench is better than pb blaster but I've never had liquid wrench get into a rusted bolt near as fast or as well as pb blaster does.
