David,
Blaster is a product sold in the US in all of the auto parts stores. It
comes in an aerosol spray can and is used to unstick any metal parts that
have rusted together or otherwise become "as one". Some might call it a
"penetrant", and I can't tell you the ingredients because they're not listed
on the side of the can. Don't bother with "mouse milk". I've tried it and
it doesn't work. The only thing I've found that works reliably to unstick
my wastegate is Blaster.
Best wishes,
Garry Stout
