Yeah the Lube works best on getting of the hangers.
As soon as I put lube on them they came right off.

And people said the same thing about rotting the rubber when using a lube.
But I said to my self "Self if all the crap from the road gets on the rubber
than how can some lube hurt it." There is alot of crap dropped from cars and
trucks ets.. on the roads that It has to be worse than silicone spray.  My .02
worth
