Kroil did not budge the endlinks on the Buick Rainier I did a couple weeks ago, but I did not apply it and then let it sit a bit either.

I do really like Kroil, have not used it much on car stuff, I have it for my gun cleaning / working on tool kit.

Yeah, on the really tough stuff it helps a lot to allow it to soak in overnight at least, and then maybe even reapply a bit more before you first put the wrenches to it. There are some pretty impressive testimonials out there about what Kroil has helped to disassemble or 'unstick'.

Yeah I agree. I have used it on a couple guns they had not been fully dissassembled and cleaned since new ('70s and '80s vintage guns) that I bought used and it worked well but I did let it sit for a few days and reapplied. The Rainier project did not allow for this since I did not think about how stuck the end links would be and start applying a couple days before disassembly.
