    Use kroil if you can find it. PB and liquid wrench used to be my go-to until I found kroil. Hands down the best penetrating oil I've found, works where PB doesn't.

        Yes! This thing is a life saver. Easy to use and effective.

        Also OP, I think you have the jackstand in the wrong place. It should be positioned under the frame rail.
