PB Blaster works better than WD40. Also, Busty works great. (Order Busty
from Ed Kaler: justbrits@aol.com)
Spray it on, let it soak. Spray it later and the tap each spoke lightly to
loosen and let the spray soak in better. Might need to do this for a few
days. They will loosen up. Also, remember to work them loose...tighten a
bit, then loosen a bit, then tighten, then loosen. If they are old, the rust
is caked on and if you force it, they are too thin and will snap.
