I posted a thread this weekend about a control arm issue I'm having.
Basically I can't get the lower rear control arm off! I smacked the hell out of it with a hammer and used WD40. But it won't budge from the wheel hub.
Someone kindly suggested to use "penetrating oil".
So what's the best penetrating oil for this? And where can I get it?
Oh, and would it be a good idea to spray a little bit on each day until the weekend when I'll try again to remove that g@dd@mn control arm? A quick google search reveals that penetrating oil is highly volatile, so I guess the answer is no, but I'm not really sure.
Thanks.
