I would recomend putting pressure in the wrong direction ie as if to tighten first then loosen. Can I also sugest the use of rubber instead of the wrench. In similar situations I have used a rubber drinks coaster to tease the object loose. -- Message posted via http://www.photokb.com >> Stay informed about: cut off retaining ring?

It's just a penetrating (i.e., light) petroleum product. Liquid Wench? Reminds me of the only joke I ever made up: Q: What did Jack the Ripper say when he was working on his car?

Better to use powdered graphite in locks; doesn't leave any gummy residue behind (which even WD-40 does). -- "I know I will go to hell, because I pardoned Richard Nixon." - Former President Gerald Ford to his golf partners, as related by the late Hunter S.

WD-40 might loosen and partially dissolve crap that is in there, but it certainly has no such residue of its own.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: cut off retaining ring?

Well, in that case, Linda Lou would have done the job, too.
