Dismantling lubricant
Want to buy the best dismantling lubricant and have seen recommendations for Plus Gas on this forum. Seem to remember using this in the past and want to ensure I buy the correct product. The one I remember is a blue can but have seen plus gas advertised in a different coloured can but called plus gas formula A, not worried about the can colour its what is inside I want, can anybody throw any light on this please and recommended sellers. Also spray or tin can where you apply by brush.

Re: Dismantling lubricant
Looks like they changed the can colours a few years ago. But the stuff inside is the same. Go to www.plusgas.co.uk/history/

Re: Dismantling lubricant
Interesting, thought they may have changed the formulae due to environmental issues. Have used stuff from LIDL which is listed as a rust removal and lubricant dismantler but always worth having something else at hand, especially for these vehicles.

Re: Dismantling lubricant
However if I was very rich I would buy one of those induction heater units ,it heats up the seized up part without any flame.

Re: Dismantling lubricant
Thanks, them induction coils are expensive, I suppose you could hire it if you were really stuck on removing something that refuses to budge using lubricants.

Re: Dismantling lubricant
WD40 is a bloody water dispelant not a penetrating oil
