rusted frozen parts

[moth_baller]

came into a couple problems with my t-maxx. have a hex shaft it hink it's called. the little piece of metal that goes through the axle to keep the hex on. it's rusted or frozen on there so ic an't get the bearings or the axle out of the carrier. also on another axle i have a wheel bearing frozen/rusted to the axle. anything i can do to get them off. was going to replace anyways but didn't want to right away. bearings are still smooth so i can still use it. just can't celan them as nice as i wanted to. if i need to get a pic i can later. i have tried some wd-40 and jsut hot water and tapping it to get it off but they don't budge

try using some wd-40 and try popping it in the oven first then spray it it should losen the rust up some for about 5-10 min try not to get burned
then play with it until it losens. and if that doesnt work have them sit in some traxxas fuel for 30 mins

okay someone else offereed up soemthing else to spray on it.. i don't remember what they said off hand right now. how hot of oven? its the stock plastic drive shafts, shouldn't melt right>

never mind the oven then since it has plastic use a hair blower heat it up for about 5-10 min then let it sit with in some traxxas top fuel and use a steel brush trust me ive had the same problem continue using WD-40. Its the rust mostly holding it down

pb blaster bro pb blaster is an actual penetrating lube,wd-40 is not it a water displacer not a spray lubricant not a penetrating lubricant,im not trying to be rude or sound rude but the W stand for water and the D stands for displacement
i cant understand why every one confuse's wd-40 for a penetrating spray lub
if you spray pb blaster on it 3-4 times for several hours then try and break it loose i promise you it will come off
