One of the tires was off the rim so we went to mount the spare. All four lug bolts (kit trailer has bolts, not nuts on lugs) were stuck. We went to the local auto parts store and the clerk recommended PB Blaster. He said to spray it on, wait an hour and the bolts would come right out. Very conservative advice. We got back, sprayed it on all four lug bolts. In five minutes two were free and in less than five more the other two were free. PB Blaster advertises itself as a penetrating lubricant that doesn't evaporate so we'll see what happens next time we have to change a tire. As for me, I'm sold. WD-40 is good, Liquid Wrench is okay, but my new product of choice (I'm so fickle) is PB Blaster.

WD stands for "water displacement". In short, its good for light cleaning and getting water off surfaces. WD-40 is a cleaner, actually. WD stands for “water displacement”.

PB and Kroil are all penetrant. Yeah, WD-40 is part penetrant, part protectant. PB and Kroil are all penetrant.
