I concur. I have used Tri-flow on three PTO's now and have not had to
re-do any of them since. I do an alcohol drip first to loosen everything,
let that evaporate, and then do the Tri-flow injection. I don't think I
use as much tri-flow as does Dave, but apparently Tri-flow by itself is
enough to handle the problem.
