Trying to remember the formula for homemade rust/nutbuster. Was it 50% brake fluid, 50% tranny fluid?
Acetone with ATF, I think. Me, I use some stuff I got from Ollies of all places. No matter what you use, getting that sucker glowing hot before applying the fluid is a huge help.
Did a little search online, acetone/ATF is right, although the original tests seem to have been done with power steering fluid. Some also add a bit of Marvel Mystery Oil.
Cant apply heat, which is making this tougher. Trying to get the impeller off of a hot tub motor/pump. All plastic. Can't even use my big persuader.
what is heat but an absence of cold...... sounds crazy, but if you cant heat one thing, chill the other. Nice thing about plastics is they expand and contract much more than metals.
Hmm, looking at this, seems a lot of them are not press fit, but threaded, and some are reverse threaded, like the fans on my BMWs, or the oscillating fans in my bedroom.

You mean left-hand threaded? Meaning to tighten, turn the fitting counter-clockwise?
Just checkin'.....
Yep.
can you say tranny fluid without being mocked by queers???
