Seized screws in Bilge pump...

[richardknight]

I took out the manual bilge pump to service it a couple of days ago but am left with three screws inside the unit which simply won't budge. I've tried drowning them in WD40 but to no avail.

Does anyone have any good ideas on what I can try next to persuade them to come out?

Thanks,

Richard

Yep....Coca cola will do the trick.

Coca cola....... I feel I should asking whether to use 'diet' or 'full fat' it sounds so unlikely! Somehow though, I believe you're serious hence will give it a go. If I can't budge them it's time for a new pump, hence will try anything!

Richard...full fat coca cola....give a 24hr bath and it will do the trick.

Coke works on seized Bronze nuts and bolts.But I havent tried it on stainless.
