Found a weird trick for getting a stuck 6.7 Powerstroke turbo oil feed line loose
Had one of those lines on a 2015 F-250 that was seized solid, even with a line wrench and heat. Out of ideas, I sprayed it with a mix of ATF and acetone, let it sit overnight, and it came off with a normal ratchet the next morning. Anyone else have a go-to mix for frozen parts that's not just PB Blaster?

Man, I used to swear by PB Blaster for everything. I mean, it's what my dad always used. But I had a brake line fitting on my old Silverado that just laughed at it. A buddy told me to try the ATF and acetone mix, maybe 50/50 in a little spray bottle. I was skeptical but desperate. That thing broke free with almost no effort the next day. Totally changed my mind on home mixes.

Honestly, that ATF and acetone trick is wild. I've heard of using them separately but never mixed together. What's your exact ratio for the mix, and do you think it works better than something like Kroil? I'm stuck on a caliper bracket bolt and PB Blaster isn't touching it.
