Like Terry, I can endorse the use of both Kroil and MMO.  When my rear wheel
bearing seized, I didn't bother to blast it with Kroil.  Instead, I made a
50/50 mix of Kroil and MMO and lathered it all over the tire.  Then the
frozen wheel would simply slide on the road surface.  Once a flat was worn on
the tire, all I had to do was remove the wheel, index it one bolt spacing and
slop on more of the secret formula.
