dude, just put the cat in a vice, take a wrench, put about 4 feet of pipe on it, and turn counter clock-wise

PB Penetrating Catalyst

We use PB to take the large rusts and bolts off of coke oven doors. It's the only thing that works, it saves us from burning these nuts and bolts off the door - Republic Steel Corp. / Cleveland, OH


PB Penetrating Catalyst is the only thing that works! In removing the large nuts and bolts from the drag lines that are attached to our steam shovels - Agrico-Division of Steel / Cleveland, OH

We have replaced all our other penetrants with 16-PB. We use it as a penetrant, lubricant and rust preventor. - Inland Steel Corp / Chicago, IL

This PB Penetrating Catalyst is like nothing else I've ever used. Around the shop, yard, house, everywhere and on anything I've attempted so far, it works WELL! - Wesley / Conway, AK

I really enjoy your PB Penetrating catalyst; I've found nothing that will touch it. I am restoring a Divco milk truck and used a case already. Keep up the great work! - Bill / Anna, Il

It is the best penetrant I've ever seen. - James / Pensacola, FL

Any time I have to remove a rusted nut or bolt, I just spray it with PB Blaster. I've been using it for 17 years, I'll never use anything else! - Steve / Mt. Pleasant, SC

Spending 32 weekends a year on the road while, maintaining 4 race trucks is a hand full. Recently, a frozen $10.00 cable almost cost me a big payday but your penetrating catalyst was the right tool. Thanks for the excellent return for the small investment! - Bryan / North Benton, OH

This product is one of the best for loosening nuts and bolts I have ever used. I am working on a 1946 CJ2A Jeep some of the nuts and bolts have been on for more than fifty years. "B'laster" sure does the job! - Ralph / South Glenn Falls, NY

I want to let you know that I am a believer in your products! - Will / Brandenton,FL

I am in the process of restoring a 1927 REO. I have removed parts that are press fitted together and badly rusted. In the past I have tried various penetrating fluids, "Liquid Wrench" and I still had to sperate the parts with a hydraulic press. With PB Blaster I spray it on wait a couple of minutes, tap the part once with a hammer and I am able to separate the parts with my fingers! Thanks for making my restoration easier. Keep up the good work! - Paul / West Harford, CT

Recently I purchased a 1946 Farmall B tractor, which I am restoring. The previous owner, actually drilled and tapped one of the broken off bolts instead of removing it. My friend told me to try your PB Penetrating Catalyst. After two applications and a little tapping, the bolts came out of the bull gear housing even the drilled and tapped one! Your product is by far the best on the market. My restoration of this tractor will be a lot easier thanks to PB Blaster! - Robert / Shawano, WI
= this is some good ----, it works great for me.

yea i just took it to a shop and the guy said he'd charge 1000-1500 anyways. the hell with that. but i have one question:

last night i did soak everything with some stuff called like easy rust or somethin like that. so today after i unbolted the mani and had to bolt it back on to take the car to the shop when i started it, there was white smoke coming from the exhaust gasket. when i put everything back on i torqued it just like the Chilton's manual said. so i was just thinkin it could be the heat burnin the easy rust stuff. what do you guys think?

and yea im gonna pwn this ------ bolt!!!!

Yeah it will take awhile for that ---- to burn off. It did it to me when I used PB Blaster.
