Personally, I always use a mixture of 75% paraffin and 25% sae90 gearbox oil in an old window cleaner spray bottle. Blow torch the nuts before applying if at all possible, not however, whilst applying!! Leave for a good few hours, and repeat if necessary. Beware of flames! Regards Capitol

Not sure if you are talking about flushing or the original nut problem. However, (from memory alone) Consumers' Assoc. did a test several years ago on rusted up nuts in which cola drink did pretty well - better than the worst proper products but not as good as the best. For that sort of job, and assuming a one off or emergency situation, a can of cheap cola is pretty much unbeatable on price.
