Default Shocking Discovery

Just experimenting today.

I got my 1 9/16" socket in the mail today. I borrowed a 3/4" impact and set up about a 6 foot bar.

The 6 foot bar did nothing.

The impact did nothing with a shock sprayed with Kroil a few days ago.

I heated the shock to about 400, checked with IR temp gun, and let cool till Kroil stayed wet. Let it soak for a while.

Impact did not move it.

Heated back up to the upper 300's (was still around 200 when I started) and resprayed when it cooled.

Went back at it with the impact and it moved! Yaaaaa!

The insides were exactly as I expected. Packed with rust. I have a few known bad shocks to experiment with techniques. I am trying some other ideas so we will see what I have happen.
