Nathan, I've been soaking a Truly Rusty bolt, that is on an old trailer hitch part,
for well over a year in ATF. At first I was mixing acetone with it for a while.
The acetone separates from the atf, after a short while, so I had to keep shaking
it up, and after doing that for a couple weeks, the acetone was evaporated, so I
added more acetone, and keep shaking it up to keep it mixed, after the acetone
evaporated again, I have just been letting the Rusty part with the Rusty bolt
soak in atf, and as I said, it's been soaking for well over a year. I take it out every
now and then, and even with good wrenches, the nut won't budge from the bolt.

It has proven to be a big waste of time.
If you get a rusty nut or bolt loose with atf/acetone mix, then it WASN'T very rusty.
And on a hot day, out in the open air, the acetone evaporates very quickly.
