What are the better ones to use...

WD-40
Liquid Wrench
Release All
Krown... etc

anyone have any links to a comparison to what penetrating oils actually work at freeing rusted parts

i find fluid film works fairly good
i personally have never seen a penetrating fluid actually penetrate the threads to the point of making the nut come loose
is more the case of better lubrication so that it removes easier

when i doubt get a longer wrench (longer pipe to fit over the end of your breaker bar) .....just make sure you are turning the right way
