Doing a little work on old Cessnas for fun these days and have to tell you I don't like Phillips head screws. The slightest corrosion and they stick and freeze. Then your Snap-On screwdriver (make sure it fits) wallows the head out, as you grunt and cuss. One thing I haven't seen in this thread, is dousing the suckers with the penetrating oil of one's choice a day or so before planned maintenance. This works wonders on yuccky corroded steel or aluminum which has spent years in a cold, very corrosive environment w/out any maintenance at all, but I haven't had occasion to try it on a plane (no corroded screws yet on ours, certain not in the commonly-off parts like wheelpants). Doesn't this work on planes? I can see where a pro in a maintenance shop wouldn't have the time to wait, but when working "for fun"... Sydney |

Somebody already suggested WD-40 and Kroil. I wasn't familiar with Kroil, but it appears to also be a penetrating oil (we generally go with the name Liquid Wrench here, another popular penetrating oil). |

Dandy stuff, and works well on throttle/turbo waste gate linkages where there's a lot of heat. Expensive, though. Have to milk a lot of mice to get even a small bottle... Dan |

They sell pilots' brains for $10/pound. And they have homebuilders' brains for $1,000/pound. They cannibal says to the butcher, "Why are homebulders brains so expensive? They must really be smart!" The butcher says, "Are you kidding? Do you have any idea how many homebuilders it takes to scrape together one pound of brains?!?" Eric :-) |
