Not allot of fluid, just that they always seem to pop loose and it is quick
enough to cut the back of your hand as you pull on it. You do have to get it
moving in and out, rotating it sometime only breaks the inside seal where
it's froze fast. It is a tight metal fit and it don't take much corrosion to
stick it in there good.
