I would sure like to know where you get the PB BLASTER at , i have tried
all 7 parts stores round here and no one has heard of it. i have three
bolts that had to be sheared off to get the rh seat out of the spit.
and cant get them out with an ez out, napa, chiefs, kragen, autozone,
pepboys don't seem to carry this stuff and i would like to try it, if
anyone has a part number let me know i can probably get it that way.

I recently had problem with several bleeder fittings and with a brake
hose connection.
I used a product called "PB Blaster" (most parts stores, about $4 a
spray can). This
stuff works!! I have since started using it almost exclusively in lieu
of all the other
'potions' we try. It looks like orange milk out of the can - not your
typical penetrant
at all. I appied to the bleeders 2 or 3 times over a 2 day period -
then tried with a
flare nut wrench and all were free.
Good Luck.
