removing corrosion
I didn't know about corrosion and the effects of different metals when I
added a wake board tower to my runabout 5 years ago. The other night, a 5/8" stainless steel bolt failed at the point where it threads into a solid aluminum mount. The bolt is corroded to the mounting plate it penetrates. There's insufficient space behind it to knock it through and not enough thread exposed to put a nut on it to pull it through. I sprayed it with penetrating oil and banged on it to try to get the oil to saturate the corrosion, but don't think it's going to work. looks like I have to try drilling it out and using an extractor - something I've never been able to do before. The frustration grows because the mounts are all inside the gunwales with barely enough space to get my fingers or wrench inside. I never thought I'd have to touch the nuts after I got them installed. So, the moral of the story is that I always use antisieze now, but didn't know about it 5 years ago. Any ideas on breaking the corrosion on this and other mounting bolts that are sure to be equally corroded? |

removing corrosion
In this situation heat is probably out of question...
so- KROIL. A little had to find, but works wonders. If not that, PB Blaster (most parts stores) WD 40 is WORTHLESS for this. Soak with Kroil or PB, rap with hammer, soak, repeat a bunch of times, good luck "William G. Andersen" wrote in message news:LwPvc.38389$oi5.16111@fed1read07...

Kroil is a fine penenetrant, but there is one even better. http//www.mousemilk.com/ Ask any experienced A&P mechanic.

Aside from the first hand experience I have had with each, there are some important physical properties of CorrosionX that make it superior to Kroil. I will be more than happy to list these properties for you. I will however only give you one at a time to see how well you process the information. In the unlikely event you show *any* ability to comprehend I will follow up with others. Here it goes- #1, CorrosionX is a dielectric lubricant/protectant, Kroil is not. |
