A little trick I learned is to mix Isopropyl alcohol and transmission fluid, then spray the part that is stuck. It takes 1/2 the ft. lbs. of torque to break it free compared to PB blaster and 1/3 the torque over WD40. Only problem is you need to mix it just prior to using it as the alcohol evaporates very quickly. This technique and mixture was proven during a study at some well known university. Hope this can save some grief and save some steering wheels.
