WD40

[Justin Cyder]

I've just done the front pads on my Mini Cooper S. The caliper bolts were completely welded on. A breaker bar was no good - too tight under the arch, so whilst head scratching, a good douse in WD40.

Eventually, got them off with the help of a 4lb tapometer, but having left the bolts for a good half hour, when I finally got them off, they were completely dry. WD40. What's the point?

I'm all for win. Plusgas then when for when I get round to doing the back wheels.

I love working on (my) motors.

I'm trying to work out how I've mucked around fixing motors for twenty years & never heard of plusgas!

One has acquired one's first tin of plusgas today in anticipation of a forthcoming exhaust exchange on my cooper s. The plusgas has arrived, the exhaust hasn't. We live in hope.
