Just a note:  PB Blaster is really great stuff in loosening frozen
fittings.  BUT it has lots of silicones in it which will play havoc
with your next paint job unless you remove them (and you can't see
where they are).  So take care. Maybe standard Kroil or some such
would be better in some situations.
