[@abdben1101]

Ain't no rust on my nuts 😂😂😂

[@forgottenknowledge8917]

"Heat treat deez nutz" 😳

[@maxmusterman6030]

Man the last tip with the tube was really good, a shame that i don't got this idea myself lol

[@ClanOxyL]

pro tip: have a strong impact wrench and just snap every bolt off. Not even kidding. get new bolts

[@OldMotorcycleAdventures]

That's my go to strategy for carriage bolts on mower spindles

[@jptrainor]

Thats not a lot of rust. A lot of rust is when there's no nut left, just a blob of rusted metal where the nut used to be.

[@Anonymous_1210]

Rust is rust

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

​@@Anonymous_1210 indeed, but when something is rusty yet still has the complete shape of the nut vs something that has literally turned into a unidentifiable blob.....these are different worlds. I need to drop my sister's exhaust & there's areas I literally don't know what is the nut, bolt, or stud. It's literally just rounded, rusted, blobs. I think the only tool going on to any of it is something that cuts.

[@Anonymous_1210]

@RothBeyondTheGrave yeah, no, I agree. I have some unlucky cases where the nut looks perfect, but the threads are locked together super tight due to oxidation

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

@@Anonymous_1210 very true, looks can be deceiving. The ok looking nut could be completely welded & the rust blob might just crumble off in my hands hahaha... I did have front rotors once that were rust welded onto the hubs so bad, I inadvertently bent the hubs from what it took (& how long it took) to get them off.

[@forgottenknowledge8917]

"Get the nuts off" 😆 Okay goodnight, I'm off to bed. Lol

[@vincentmiconi1869]

Don't mess around with it. Go straight to the fire wrench!

[@anthonyiannone7618]

i only wish the cars here in the north east had that little amount of rust on the cat bolts ! Literally thats what they look like after 1 winter.

[@ballershanelle]

I think...go buy stanless steel as soon as you get a new car.. removal 02 sensors and add, anti seize

[@blazeboyblazeboy4470]

Cut it flush with grinder then turn it off . Or.. carefully with grinder split the nut by grinding away the siďe

[@barry8458]

Try without heat first…some of them especially Japan systems will certainly lock if you add heat ..

[@harveyr2546]

Oven cleaner works wonders

[@terrybo5924]

instead of a rust penetrant?

[@harveyr2546]

@terrybo5924 I work in the oilfield offshore. We mess with beyond rusty bolts. I spray oven cleaner on them and let them sit a little bit. Then use a hammer wrench to break them lose

[@spheresartis1782]

​@@harveyr2546 That sounds like hard work. Im impressed and cant Imagine what its like working oilfield. Have a good day man

[@HypocriticYT]

Air chisel much faster

[@_JimboSlice]

"Get these nuts off" ....just hit it with some Hawk Tuah (years from now, no one will know this reference)

[@bobedwards7927]

Good idea with the tube

[@pingpong9656]

Does it actually work in practice though?

[@douglasjreynolds]

This must be exhaust bolt removal for folks in the south.

[@tjmurphy9909]

Wouldn’t heating it up just make it tighter?

[@jptrainor]

In this case, the circumference of the nut increases, hence the diameter increases. Even in cases where it does get tighter, e.g. a steel bolt in a aluminum fixture, it can still work because it still breaks the corrosion bond.

[@stellarv5689]

Great idea

[@RhodeyRepairs]

This one aint even that bad but hes right that PB is great

[@terrentech]

Impact chisel hammer drill much better. < 60 sec notch nut and split it off in counter rotation

[@631chucky]

Impact wrench would be beautiful

[@donwest5387]

"heat-treat"?

[@Sinsirink]

Lol heat treat these nuts

[@JG-kv4oi]

Dude you're making a mountain out of a mole hill. Heat the nut red hot with a torch and zip it off with an impact gun. 30 seconds from start to finish.

[@newtwitchclipper]

i just used p b blaster and a 1/2 high torque uga duggad it right off

[@anthonyrespass3090]

Cool

[@Jaysmobileautoservice]

Or a nut splitter

[@carlosgiles4585]

Where do you get plastic tubes

[@drjd2real]

Home Depot

[@pubber3252]

orrrrrrr u know u could grind the nut with a dremel and replace the nuts an bolts… or would that be to quick and simple🤷‍♂️😂😂😂

[@kelpking4484]

How is that more quick and simple than just untightening the nut

[@Astromyxin]

Dude, just get some evaporust gel.

[@Sinsirink]

This whole things jus funny

[@donwest5387]

i used an impact gun on my Subaru

[@jayewhite8638]

Impact that shit!!! 🙄

[@0505abab]

Die grinder

[@bh251cc]

excellent
