hk,

Several years ago, I took my van for its annual state inspection.  When it
came time for the thing I dreaded the most, watching the rear drums, and
consequently the wheel bearings, being subjected to all sorts of abuse in
order to remove them, the mechanic, instead, sprayed the hub center with
something and with one well-placed rap they popped right off.  Needless to
say I was most impressed.  When I asked what he had used, he was very evasive
as if this was too esoteric for the Unworthy.  From 20 feet away, I managed
to spy what I thought was the word ZIP printed on the can.  Since then, I
have futilely searched for this stuff.  Oh, the power the Word.  One errant
vowel resulted in a bunch of impatient countermen wishing me gone.

So, where the hell do you get this stuff?!
