It has one of the highest temperature ratings of anti seize products which gives it a broader application range. For example, it can be used on the back of hi temperature brake pads to stop squeal and does not run or leak.---Keokesteveg said:Keoke said:"Coppa Slip" is better.---Keoke-
In what way?

Where does one get Coppa Slip? I've tried all the auto parts stores (Napa, Kragen, etc up here). Knowone has heard of it. Are there other brands? I have anti seize I use on the wheel hubs??? Too thick I would guess.
I'm still waiting on some pins form Moss so I tried getting the bolts off and the pins freed up. Some KW nocker-loose penetrite (4 days of application) did the job easily. I guess I got very lucky. There really was little rust on the car.
I've put everything back together so I can drive to an event and did not want to install the new springs using old pins.
Thanks again. You all are the greatest.

Hi TH, last time I checked Moss was selling Coppaa slip # 221-405 ahd 221-410. The last batch I bought was made in Canada.
But you mustah removed the wrong pin 1} because they not pose to be that easy to remove and 2} you have to remove some upholstery inah BJ7 to get em out. I did not hear nothing bout no upholstery!--Keoke

But I got a BJ8. Probably not seized cause it newer than a BJ7. The upholstery only has to be removed it you take it out from the top!

In getting ready for a frame up restoration, I removed the complete front end on Friday and the complete rear end including leaf springs on Saturday. I sprayed PB Blaster once every week or so for about a month.
Everything came out very easily. It probably helped that I struggled to get everything out the last time which was about 30 plus years ago and applied a non-seize grease when I put it back together. I bought a can of the cold freeze stuff made by CRC and never got to use it. I believe freezing is better than heating to get parts off. I used dry ice in the past to remove friends rusted wire wheels/splines. Sometimes ordinary refer ice worked. BYW: Both of my leaf springs were broken!
