[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 3169786, member: 7157"] Thanks for the additional advice, folks. I did try some Kroil, but I’d read of a test where PB Blaster did better for penetration, so I went with that afterward. I forgot to mention that I also tried tapping first with a hammer, then with an impact hammer set to a low PSI and using a folded cloth in between. When my gf is in town this weekend, I’ll have her try the tapping while I haul on the strap wrench. As for soaking in brake fluid, I would need a lot, since the bottom of the base to the threaded portion is about five inches high. Also, I can’t see the threads, so I can’t tell which way they run. But how common would LH threads be, anyway? I’ve run into a LH thread only two or three times in my life. HH, the Klein wrench has a 1” wide ribbed vinyl strap and a metal handle about 14” long. It’s pretty beefy. [/QUOTE]
