DIRTY TRICK FOR SEIZED BOLTS IN NASTY SPOTS

This is a tip for loosening a frozen bolt that has no clearance to whack with a hammer or put a 6 foot snipe on. You may need to pull out this hack once or twice a lifetime, but it doesn't cost anything to file away for later. Actually, there's a number of tips in this vid:
1. Nasty job? Try to get somebody else to do it.
2. Mod an air hammer bit so it engages on the side of a wrench.
3. Check if bolts are re-useable by running a nut up the whole length of the threads. If it does, the bolt isn't stretched.

[@kentuckycowboy2]

AVE, I've always wanted to see the internals and hear how air chisels work. If yours has bit the dust and you ever get time or think they'd be enough interest I would enjoy seeing you disassemble it and give us the overview. Thanks John

[@jslay8319]

You don't need a new air hammer (aka peening gun). You need to oil that one and rotate the black piece behind the spring portion clockwise while holding the silver piece still. Eventually it'll bottom out and you're good to go again. The vibration rattles them apart. When it's loose the air seeps by the threads and there's not enough driving force (air) behind the chiseling bit.

[@oldman6744]

But you said, you couldn't get a wrench on??? How do I get the bolt in my vise??? LOL

[@jeffstanley4593]

Vise is a tool used to hold something, vice is a sin or crime. It is two different words with different meanings. So, either is correct but only in the correct application.

[@RideRevival]

I have my vices, and I have my vise. Different words my friend.

[@matthewmarting3623]

If all else fails (including heavily offset wrenches, because you never have the size you need due to it being a specialty product) you fabricate one that will work. Angle grinder. hell of a bench vise, piece of medium carbon steel and a snipe bar is all you need. Don't have medium carbon steel? Go straight to the tough stuff and "borrow" the leaf springs off a truck. Sometimes its even good steel like 5160. You can definitely do this with next to nothing... besides a reciprocating air hammer.

[@cabletie69]

[@jeffstanley4593]

[@itsmatt2105]

Here's a totally off topic tip that saved my bacon not too long ago. I needed to drill some holes in heat treated wear steel backhoe teeth. The holes needed to be precise, blasting them in with a torch wouldn't do. I was all set to run through boxes and boxes of drill bits but even those weren't looking like they'd do the job when I decided to see how far a hand full of dull old carbide tipped masonry drill bits would do. They did great! They didn't drill as fast or last near as long as a regular good quality bit would drill in mild steel but they did pretty good. Used a mag drill at 250 rpm with lots of oil and high downward pressure, safety glasses and ear plugs (it sounded like a dinosaur was being tortured to death) and what looked like an almost all day job got done in an hour with only the cost of some old masonry bits I had bought at a garage sale for no discernible reason. Definitely a win for me that day!

[@shawndavies950]

Sharpen them to close to regular drill specs using a silicone carbide wheel . Cheap concrete drills sharpened will go through a lot of harder metals

[@Canbechangedtwiceeveryfourteen]

@@shawndavies950 thanks to you and the OP for the tips

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Good tip. A wobble extension attached to a short socket might let you use your ratchet in that small space. The air hammer trick will also loosen up stuck front suspension parts on most vehicles in about 3 seconds, if applied to the right place.

[@jerseyforlife]

[@adamchou9123]

that's what I'm trying to figure out too. he put the fabricated groove thing on the wrench, but I don't understand how that could break lose a bolt?

[@jerseyforlife]

Adam Chou that was im saying..what did the groove accomplish?

[@HellerTech2000]

I believed he notched it to fit the wrench, keeping it from bouncing off and mauling your hand.

[@jerseyforlife]

he made the groove in the end of the air chisel, the put the open end of the wrench in that groove so it had something to grab onto instead of it just bouncing the chisel off the end of the wrench..

[@viperz888]

How are you going to get an air gun in there if you can't get a spanner there?

[@1pcfred]

Very carefully. Possibly with a long extension bit.

[@marshaul]

The wrench fit, he just couldn't get any muscle on it, and there was no access for an impact wrench. So he set up a sort of air impact breaker bar... using a box wrench and an air hammer.

[@SONOFAZOMBIE2025]

take the bolt out and put the bolt into a vise so you have more room to take the bolt out. durrr... lol

[@1pcfred]

Creative Contagion You can always weld a piece of rebar to an air chisel. To get yourself some more reach.

[@markvickroy6725]

no its not on a lathe initially dummy. between a motor mount or trans mount & frame. I don't see room to use the trick as shown, but the gist is grind a bolt with a 1/2" head, square, to an air chisel type bit with an indent to fit the wrench. wrench on bolt, chiselbolt on wrench.

[@gmoney9247]

Thanks for the great tip on removing seized nuts and bolts. That's one of the smartest methods I've seen!

[@hackfreehvac]

The two ways I loosen really tight bolts is to hit the end of the wrench with a hammer. If the bolt or nut head is shot then a good sharp chisel in and then at an angle with a good whack with the hammer will pop them loose. Your method looks nice and easy if you've got air and the pneumatic chisel hammer with you.

This same principle works well on hydraulic hose fittings minus the wrench part when you have the flat rate time bomb ticking and the last guy to tighten the hose evidently had something to prove. Hit the flats with a drift punch bit. Careful with this tip though, much like chloroform a little goes a long way.

[@KK19825]

This also works when you have to drive anchor bolts in confined space or to ease your load when pounding them overhead. Though I usually don't have an air hammer, so I use a rotary hammer without the rotary function. Works like a charm.

Don't use a 12 pt socket or wrench on a stuck bolt. You'll just round it off quickly. Use a 6 pt.

[@stever5887]

Definitely. A 12-point is an invitation to rounding off the bolt; you're better off with a 6-pt. Better yet, get a set of Turbo Sockets; they're 6-point, but also twist helically down into the socket, getting smaller the further in you go. These will notch the fastener as they twist, but you WILL be able to remove it. You can use the original Turbo Sockets (manufactured by Hudson Bearing), or try Craftsman's version or those made by Irwin. Craftsman turbo sockets won't permit direct use of a ratchet on them (but can be turned with a socket, a combination wrench or an adjustable wrench). Genuine Turbo Sockets and those made by Irwin have a 3/8"- or 1/2"-square drive for turning with a ratchet.

Lenny, there is no connection. He's showing the second bolt because the first one is too hard to get to and he can't show it getting unscrewed. In other words, his trick ain't workin.

Just put the wrench through a long pole so you can get more torque

Impact always trumps torque when it comes to imparting force to hardware. Just how it works.

Agreed with the impact being superior, but sometimes you can fit a longer lever in but can't fit an impact. In that case the lever wins by forfeit.

44R0Ndin what wins is what works. If something is galled then you can lever on it all you want, and the best thing you'll end up doing is shearing the fastener off. Then you're fucked.

GoodISnipr, I would teach you the art of the KZbin comment but I don't want to write an essay, I will instead say that you should take a comment with a condescending tone and unnecessary complicated words as a joke and if it is indeed literal, it wouldn't be to fun talking to someone like that, now would it?

DERPFACELARY You never know, the internet is full of retards. I've seen more than a handful of comments that seemed like sarcasm but were genuine.

Stonedontherun exactly, those are the people that I mentioned when I said "not worth replying to"

For all the people arguing about using stupidly expensive tools you need once to do this job. He was showing you how to work in a tight space where a rattle gun won't fit at all, by making a torque gun variaton.

Love your commentary man, you're clever. But in my experience an air hammer is about the size of an impact, and if the impact can't get in there, how will the air hammer? Gonna try this the next time I run into this situation anyway, though!

A pickle fork tool is easily modified to do this, too, but it's often not compact enough and this approach will work better.

This is a good one and especially for us old old Mechinicks!!

One problem at the beginning he said you can't get a wrench on the fastener. So what good is the air hammer gonna do? Typically if you can't get a wrench in place or get a good swing on a wrench before it is blocked by something you can usually get a ratchet with a wobble extension on the fastener and wa-la the fastener comes off.
