Unfrozen Bolt

I finally broke loose the bolt that was frozen in my 85cm Project Cedrus mast.


Roland gave me this can - he said this is what he uses on chiller repairs (where corroded bolts abound).  This stuff worked!!!  I had tried using Liquid Wrench and PB Blaster.


To be fair, I had not used this until after I got the Kano oil - a manual impact wrench.  I did not want to use the battery operated Makita - because I was sure I'd end up stripping the bolt head.  So I waited for this one to come in the mail and BAM - unfrozen bolt!!!


The universe is without tension once again.
