    I like the idea of using a jack but maybe just put it at the end of the breaker bar and Jack it up instead of trying to get leverage in a tight space

    A wire brushing to take the crud off the exposed thread will help the plusgas penetrate more easily

    It would be, WD40 isn’t a penetrating oil.
    I find PlusGas brilliant stuff.

    I assume this might get it started for you?

  7. The ether will either explode or get you high. It does start engines though.

    A careful belt with a copper hammer might help ...some say applying a bit of petrol on it ..let it sink in for a bit then apply plus gas .
    Personally i wouldn't use a jack to put pressure on the bung in case it is really tight in and break the casing .
    You could always go to your local garage and get them to air gun it off .

    I'm off the opinion that all penetrating oil is just nice smelling snake oil... you probably just pull a bit harder subconsciously because you have sprayed it.. anything wet and slippery will probably have the same effect. I often just pull the dipstick out and drip it on the threads, then get the biggest bar I can find on it. :thumbsup:

  17. ^this. I’ve never noticed any difference between the various oils. They all don’t really work.
