Plusgas and a blow torch were needed last time I did one. The irony was it'd had been swapped over 18 months previously so should have been quite easy.

I've got a can of plusgas, can't say I noticed it was particularly brilliant, but it was on a 10 + year old rusted ford Ka

C'mon, it's good but it's not that good! I normally spray the night before if I know i'm going to be dismantling parts the next day. I have both spray and the conventional oil.
