Hi David, Les also mentioned using a good lubricant like "Protek". This isn't very scientific except only a drop. It won't go past the coil usually. A drop on the top the coil. Liquid Wrench is more of rust dissolver than a lubricant. It breaks up the rust bond between the coil and the pin. David ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, CA Dear David, Can you tell me more about this procedure? What good does it do to lubricate the tuning pin coil? Would there be any rick of contaminating the pinblock with the liquid wrench? Just curious.
