How To Free Up A Seized Bolt or Nut
Рет қаралды 623,576
4 жыл бұрынNut or bolt stuck or seized? This is the ultimate way to loosen a rusted bolt or nut. You need this penetrating oil to solve your problem. This is the easiest method to remove a stubborn or frozen nut or bolt.
There is nothing more frustrating when you have a tight bolt that you just can’t turn. Over time nuts and bolts become rusted or corroded to the point where you just can’t undo the bolt. It just won’t come off. Allow this penetrating oil time to seep into the threads then give it a try and turn and unstick the bolt.
I’ve checked out the Top 10 or more commercial brands out there like Kano Kroil, Blaster 16-PB, WD-40, Gibbs Brand Lubricant, 3-in-one Multi-purpose oil, Kano Aerokroil L106, Royal Purple 05000 Maxfilm Synthetic Penetrating Oil, Loctite 504054, Castle Thrust C2005, Kano Sili and CRC Knock’er Loose, these work great but I think the concoction in my video works better. Try it for yourself. Quickly and easily loosen a rusted nut or bolt.

One last ditch item that can help the acetont/atf concoction when it still doesn't turn is: instead of applying pressure loosening the nut/bolt/screw is to tighten it a very small amount 1st. (1/16 of a turn or less) This can break the base metal corrosion loose and allow the atf mix to penetrate more deeply. May God bless & give rest to the soul of Mike!

Steve, I'm recently a new small engine tech. Attended Wisconsin Indanhead Technical College. Got their certificate in Power Sports Technology. I placed First in SkillsUsa power equipment technology in Wisconsin and 8th in the nation at Nationals in 2017. That being said, I don't profess to know anything beyond too much theory. I did this at age 56 beating out 2 year vo-tech students. My problem is; I'm still learning. No where near being an expert I lack mentorship. This is where your videos come in I've learned as much watching your videos as I have in school. Keep up the good work, and anyone who incorporates beer in their tutalege is alright by me Keep up the good work and I hope to get me a hoodie from you soon!

I've tried most every penetrating fluid known to man over the last 34 years as a machinist. What I have noticed is that when the nut eventually breaks free there is never any sign of the penetrating fluid on the threads where the nut was. What has most always worked is either using the impact forces of an impact gun tightening-loosening in tiny increments, or heat on the nut (not the bolt). Sometimes a combination. But you always run the risk of shearing off the fastener. So I appreciate your tip and I will certaily give it a try. Cheers.

Steve, since refinding your channel a few days ago, I have watched a bunch of them and I can not even begin to tell you how much confidence you instilled in me to tackle some of the small engine issues I am faced with today. My sincere wishes on your family, losing someone is really not losing them but rather, just a spearation of space and time for a while. But, THANK YOU for sharing your brother's recipe for this pentetrating solution. The timing for me seems to be divine in nature as, soon as I finish watching a couple more of your how to vids here, I have a relatively new weed trimmer, honda tiller (aged) and a riding mower with a solenoid problem calling my name attention. Today, I can pick up my tools and head to them with far more confidence than I had just a week ago. I no longer look with dread in the direction of these pieces of equipment to make the repairs/tune ups. Hats off to you and Mike for helping us all learn, grow and save...

For really stuck fasteners that won't open up with chems or heat there's usually still way. Small hammer. Seriously begin to tap all sides of the nut or bolt with light to moderate force. It will work, but it's tedious as heck to do as one fastener can take like 15-60mins, maybe even more. When I was young one back then almost to retire mechanic showed me this trick and I've never have it failed. If bolt is in casing or such then it's not the most effective, but tapping bolt head still help a lot. Friend had to remove steering joint from one old car which had to come off intact. He had worked that single part for hours and told him to do it. He did it for like hour and said that it's actually getting out and eventually got it out. But as said, this method is true patience and will test for the mechanic.

Acetone and ATF make the absolute best penetrating oil. Been using that for decades. Something else that helps is to use a hammer and blunt--ended punch to give the bolt/nut a side impact to help break and adhesion between the contacting surfaces. Then add more penetrating oil. As someone else stated here, moving in small increments, back and forth, while continuously adding the mixture is a surefire way to get the stuck fastener apart. If you can ever get it to move any at all, most of the time, it will come loose. Be aware that loosening very corroded nuts and bolts generates an immense amount of heat inside the threads very quickly. When you have one that's really tight, move it a little and let it cool for a few seconds to disperse the heat. Add more oil solution and do it again allowing for the heat to disperse. Small movements is the key. I learned this stuff from working in a motorcycle speed and machine shop for over 30 years. Steel bolts in aluminum engines can be problematic when exposed to lots of moisture. Sometimes there are ones that are not going to loosen no matter what technique is used but being careful can work most of the time. My best advice is to use lots of lubricant and go slow. The smaller the bolt the more care is required because they can twist off much easier.

The most amazing bolt/screw/nut etc. UNseizing method EVER!!! I had a metal toilet handle that broke and the base was frozen to the metal nut. I was going to have to replace my ceramic toilet water holder. Tried this method which is a 1:1 ratio (aka 50:50 mix). Place in a small shot glass (Thank's to Steve's Small Engine Saloon--HaHa) Drop a few drops onto the frozen bolt and nut and watched it "soak in" as Steve recommended. 2 minutes later I was able to unscrew the frozen bolt. Genius!!

But, before I could dismantle it I had the break the seal of 1 ¼ Inch nut holding the arm. With a socket and a one yard lever I could not break the seal. I put Penetrene on it and went home. Next morning I was able to remove the nut with a 10 Inch Spanner. Not as quick as your suggestion, but it’s an off the shelf product.

I just came across this video, my deepest condolences regarding your brother. I have lost one also, and I share your pain. This mix seems to be what I've needed. I have a '63 Beetle and well... rusted nuts come with the territory. This will be a game changer.

Hi Steve, I’m so sorry about your brother, my heartfelt condolences go out to you, your family and Mikey’s. Thank you for sharing his tip. I happen to have those ingredients in my garage and will try it on a seized, rusty glow plug nut on my old diesel. Thanks again so much

So sorry for your loss. Because of you, I was able to get my Ryobi leaf blower not only properly tuned but running like new. You did a video specifically on that similar model and I thank you for that. I was just about to give up but you saved me some $$ and I tackled it. Between adjusting & tuning it, and proper non-ethanol fuel, it runs like new. I didn’t have go out and buy a new one. The unit is over 10 yrs old! Again, my condolences to you and your family. -Roy

Thanks for sharing that Steve-O. You're a real down to earth guy and you have a lot of folks out here that enjoy your sense of humor and your no nonsense approach to getting things fixed and running again. Sorry to hear about your brother man. May his memory be for a blessing to all who knew and loved him. Carry on Steve, we're with ya bro♥! I can hear the pain in your voice at losing brother Mike, stay strong Steve. Do you think this combo would work at unseizing a piston in a 2 stroke engine?

God bless Mike, Steve and your family. You are 100% correct. I've been using this for a few years now and I haven't found any nut/bolt this hasn't freed. Most guys have a half liter of ATF sitting around and Acetone isn't that expensive.

Been using acetone and atf since I was a kid. My gramps taught me to use it when I started working on bikes and small engines. Another option that also works in some instances is to heat the part and rub it with wax and let it penetrate. But acetone and atf is about the best and cheapest penetrating fluid out there.

@philip5940 11 ай бұрын
I tend to use the commercial penetrant lubes followed by that certain style of opposing hammer blows from two opposing hammers . The vibration and slight contraction and elongation microscopic level carries the stuff deeper as well as breaking up the rust bonds . Final resort is the portable blowtorch along with cooling water jet from a pump up hand sprayer .
