A good penetrating oil? 50:50 atf and paraffin.
How about freeze and release spray?
You can dissolve ferrous metal from aluminium using a concentrated solution of hot alum but it'll destroy the ferrous metal. You also need to immerse it in the solution for a protracted period. They use it for getting broken taps out of complex drilled pneumatic valve blocks. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

Stainless stuck in ally - heat it up. They have vastly different rates of expansion. This time of year the ally is going to be a tight grip due to the temperatures.
3-400 degrees should do it. 600 will cause the ally to melt. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

I Googled that for you.
You're welcome.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_transmission_fluid
"Modern ATF consists of a base oil plus an additive package containing a wide variety of chemical compounds intended to provide the required properties of a particular ATF specification. Most ATFs contain some combination of additives that improve lubricating qualities,[2][3][4] such as anti-wear additives, rust and corrosion inhibitors, detergents, dispersants and surfactants (which protect and clean metal surfaces); kinematic viscosity and viscosity index improvers and modifiers, seal swell additives and agents (which extend the rotational speed range and temperature range of the additives' application); anti-foam additives and anti-oxidation compounds to inhibit oxidation and "boil-off"[5] (which extends the life of the additives' application); cold-flow improvers, high-temperature thickeners, gasket conditioners, pour point depressant and petroleum dye. All ATFs contain friction modifiers, except for those ATFs specified for some Ford transmissions and the John Deere J-21A specification;[6] the Ford ESP (or ESW) - M2C-33 F specification Type F ATF (Ford-O-Matic) and Ford ESP (or ESW) - M2C-33 G specification Type G ATF (1980s Ford Europe and Japan)[3] specifically excludes the addition of friction modifiers.[3] According to the same oil distributor, the M2C-33 G specification requires fluids which provide improved shear resistance and oxidation protection, better low-temperature fluidity, better EP (extreme pressure) properties and additional seal tests over and above M2C-33 F quality fluids." ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

I didn't want to recommend acetone in case there were any rubber or plastic componants on your sensor. Acetone will destroy them. Paraffin is much less likely to. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Acetone from paint shop or nail varnish remover from poundland or similar - costs just £1.. Look at the back though,some have water in others are 99% Acetone plus some floral scenting -- which is nice.. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

You can buy drums of acetone on ebay for very little money. I use it to clean spilled epoxy off stuff, among many other things. It brings carb componants up lovely. I put them in a jamjar of acetone in the ultrasonic cleaner. Just don't let it touch rubber o-rings or gaskets. It even attacks nitrile gloves after a bit. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
