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.
