How To Free Up A Seized Bolt or Nut

  • Nut 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!

      Can also grab a torch and heat the bolt/nut up, then let it cool. The heating and cooling will cause a slight separation. The penetrating fluid will have an easier time soaking in too.

  • @steadyeddie7453
    @steadyeddie7453 Рік тому +23

    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, 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!

    That being said, I will try this today in my shop. I thank you for posting this. Up until now my go to has been heating it with a propane torch or heat gun just enough to melt a small puddle of candlewax on the stuck nut or bolt, This works extremely well, but adding he can sometimes be a problem.

    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...

Nothing else would make it budge: I heated it well over 650 °F, added an extension to a breaker bar and put over 500lb-ft of torque, soaked it in PB Blaster, nothing. 50/50 ATF with Acetone, poured it on a few times to let it soak, waited a few minutes, and the nut turned as if nothing happened😮😮 HUGE thanks to you, Steve! 💪🏻💪🏻

    Thank you for the tip, it looks good. I use Penetrene, on difficult Nuts, but you may need to let is seep-in for a few hours. 20 years back I was repairing a Ford Steering Box. 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.

    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.

    Cool. I've been a bike mechanic for 40 years and we called that 50/50 mix the secret sauce. We would soak rusty freehubs (from salt water damaged bicycles) in the mix for days to free them up. It's the real deal.

    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!!

    EXCELLENT TIP CHEERS - RIP Mikey. As a guy below says once the nut releases DONT try to run it straight off it WILL seize again. Undo - then tighten a little - undo - tighten - undo- tighten etc THEN she will come off! I have use this with bolts up to 2 inches!

    Diesel mechanic in northern Jersey. Working on salt trucks and heavy equipment I see a lot of rusted parts. The best stuff I have found is the Mopar rust penetrant. It seems to soften the rust and really does an amazing job. Amazon has it for a good price. Give it a shot!

    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.
