Freeze spray - does it do what it says on the can
Anybody ever used freeze spray shock and release?
Does it do what it says it can do on the tin? Looking at the description, it freezers and slightly cracks the rust, which in turn allows the combined penetrating oil in to where it's needed - but to what extent is my question. Is it the answer to them very popular rusted on nuts on my Frontera  Halfords do their own flavour but the single review I read referred to the original Loctite flavour as doing a better job http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BARGAIN-LOCTI ... 649wt_1185 Last edited by Retro Pedro on Wed Jul 04, 2012 8:36 am, edited 1 time in total.

I used the halfords stuff last night to help split a steering idler taper, worked well though I did also use 3 in 1 penetration spray, a few blows with the lump hammer and two sessions with the puller in different positions did the job, I think it helps.
For the cost of the loctite and postage you can get both tins at halfords  Ste

Pete,
Use either LOCTITE 8040 FREEZE & RELEASE 400ml AEROSOL or AMBERSIL AMBERSIL FREEZER SPRAY 400ml Any other brand will be inferior. Not to say it won't work, but anything else will be very much inferior and a false economy. I sell 5 different makes, and anyone who buys the cheap stuff but has used the Loctite or Ambersil ones, always comments on how much better the branded products work. p.s. that price on the ebay link is very good Traffic lights in London are just rough guidelines

So what do you reckon then Paul, spray of the Loctite stuff followed by the 3-in-1 penetrating oil or something??

Bardahl release oil (bar code no:- 3266720011239) then a quiet glass of wine or beer while it gets in there and does its thing and off they come.
In the old days, when I were a lad, we just painted it with diesel and went down the pub for a night or two. Patience. It's a machine; you are an intelligent being; you will win. If you need something done quickly just ask a busy woman then get the f"k out of her way.

Tried the halfords one when removing a very stuck side-step mounting bolt, not sure if it did the trick or not tbh cos I also sprayed a load of wd40 over it, went for a brew then came back, put a mtr long breaker bar on it, lent in some tension on the bar and then gave the chassis next to the bolt a proper belting with mr lump hammer. Unsurprisingly it came loose.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered )Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you....
