Repairing a Leslie RS3L that lived under a truck.

This horn spent time under a truck. Leslies dont like that at all. Extreme corrosion, worlds best locktite. Only broke to back cap bolts. Chambers amazlingly clean inside. All bell bolts and bells frozen solid. Used lots of heat and prayers where answered. Only replaced one chamber housing and some bolts, new gaskets and dounuts. Any horn under a truck should be assembled with lots of never sieze.
Was a fun project

PB BLASTER works wonders on disimilar metals. If aluminum is bolted to cast iron, a weeks worth of spraying once got me finger loose bolts. Try it!

Im fond of Deep Creep. Had better luck with it than anythin else.And yes Aluiminium into cast iron is the worst to get apart for shore

Do you have a Nathan P2 with the 2 and 3 bells? It sounds just like CalTrain.
