Just because you have a few Craftsman tools, it dosen't mean your a craftsman.

You can buy it from any leading tool and supply house.The greatest virtue is patience so let it do the work.This KROIL oil cost around $21.00 FOR A 16.5 OZ CAN little pricey but it works.You can get it in gallons to.Good luck | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 442 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 442 | you can order Kroil cheaper than that, directly from them! Made by Kano Industries, in Tenn..do a search on the web, and it should pullup their site. i have been using PB Blaster, seems to work okay too.

The brass thrust block had worn away and what was left wedged itself against the worm gear shaft. The spur gear shaft's axel had worn an elongated hole in the zinc die-casting. Have photos of the whole thing disassembled if you need. | | |
