Penetrating oil for rusted bolts/nuts. NAPA "Penetrant" is my favorite
non-areosol although Marvel Mystery Oil Penetrant (comes in a small plastic
bottle) is pretty okay too.
PB Blaster is a decent spraycan type, "Break Away" (from CarQuest I believe) is
better though it smells worse.
Hit it with penetrant, then tap with a hammer (not on a threaded bit!) then
walk away for an hour. More penetrant, more tapping, more time.
OR
If its a disposable bolt break out the 3/4" socket set and cheater bar and just
snap it....

Hi All,
I have a 93 300E that I love has never given my any problems - Besides
which it has history with me since it was my father's car.
Two/Three days ago my Lady ran it really low on fuel. When I refueld I
noticed that at bare minimum speed/idle levels she seemed to be
"bucking." I thought perhaps water in the fuel and put dry gas in at the
next stop.
This did not stop the "bucking" noticeable when standing still as the
idle would fluctuate between 5 and 10. Upon acceleration it would
disappear. when first trying to move froma stop it appears to want to stall
then takes off and seems to be operational.
I started to figure a fuel filter. Who knows the last time this was
replaced????
Bought a fuel filter - $62.00 For a fuel filter ?????
How is everyone freeing up rusted screws, nuts, bolts etc? WD 30 wil
not even begin to do the job. I cannot begin to replace the old filter
if I can't even take it off :)
