Also see TM 9-8030 figure 77. It's on page 152 in my book.

With the manifold at running temperature shut it down and apply Mouse Milk to the shaft. Keep applying a little at a time until the manifold starts to cool. Then gently apply pressure left and right to free it. The high temp of the manifold and shaft will draw the Mouse Milk in and help free the shaft. This is the same stuff we have used for years on turbo waste gate actuator shafts to keep them from seizing.

Cuz,
In all my years I have never heard of the product Mouse Milk? I need to check it out. Thanks for the link. I have alot of MRO customers always asking for good penetrants.

PS: I love your "disclaimer" :lol:

What part of the country do they have the mouse farms? California? Or are they maybe found in China? How do they milk them?

Mouse milk comes from Wisconsin Mice raised expressly for the penetrating fluid in Eau Claire Wisconsin. The mouse farmer down there has both an m38 and a M37. You milk them by placing your toe on their nose and then pump their tails. :wink:

Well ,Wes I was hoping to throw everybody off on the location of the farms. Now I'll probably get the competition moving in and the price will go down , the market will be flooded with mouse milk and big O's economic plan will be in the crapper. I guess I should've just went to the barn instead of getting on the computer. Simpler times are just a memory,the computer age ruined another family business. :cry:
