Plus, lubricating film remains on parts to help prevent further rusting.

I used Batter Blaster last time, with only limited success.

Look for it in the dairy section of your local grocery!

(At my local store, it's in the cooler next to the eggs, above the chilled pasta sauces and shredded Italian cheeses.)

Agreed! If necessary, jack up one side of axle to give a bit more drop to the other.
