    Busting a Nut....

    I am trying to remove my tension pulley and the nut is a little tight. What is the best spraylube to use that will help bust the nut off of the screw?

    Also:

    I just bought a pulley from a local J-yard. The tension pulley has a little rust (engine was uncovered in the J-yard) , and I need to know what is the best way to cleanremove the rust. The movent in the pulley is great, it just has a little rust on the belt path.

    Help!!

    Referring to the pulley that I scooped from the J-yard. I was told to use a steel brush at first and then use a brillo pad to kinda smooth it off.

    If all else fails, heat it with a propane torch...just be careful of fuel lines and the like!
