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.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your brother Steve, keep the faith bro,

[@Orange-Jumpsuit-Time]

I've got news for you pal, those threads you showed aren't that corroded, I could have taken that off with some heat from a propane torch.

[@nothankyou5524]

I woulda loved your brother I'm sure. I do a lot of after dinner work for neighbors and nearby's. Money is tight for all of us. Wish I had your knowledge and skills. but as long as I got you around, I'm a rock star. And I push them all to learn from you. In my area of NC, your weed Wacker video should be viral, whatever the fk that means. Bless you, sir! Bless you, man!

[@michaelamick4887]

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!

thanks michaelamick, but most of us old guys know that already, anything moves easier going in the same direction it stuck in. good to hear someone today comment about that.

[@davidbennett1471]

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.

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 repaired my own mowers and weed whackers as well as friends and families with your help. Now I will have a good way to break free rusted bolts thanks to you and your brother.

[@steadyeddie7453]

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.

[@1959jimbob]

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...

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.

It is just been over two years and I miss him terribly. 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.

[@thumbody1]

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.

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.

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

That's my battle now too. Got 7 out and one broke inside and now I am trying to get that out. Tried extractors, heat, fluid, etc and nothing is budging it yet.

I recently purchased a gallon of acetone from fiberglass store and it comes in a plastic jug.Sometimes need to loosen rusty fasteners and I use heat when possible. Thanks for your tip on this one.

Steve, my heart goes out to you. Sorry about your brother. The mixture I like to use is oxygen and acetylene. That usually works well.

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 .

Steve, I tried Aero Kroil, heat, freeze spray, the works... muffler U-bolts wouldn't budge. So I watched your video, made a couple of tablespoons of your brother's brew, and voila! Off they came! Great way to honor your brother's memory! Thank you!

So Sorry for your loss Steve.... This is an Awesome Tip... In 1973 I started to work at Thompson and Green Caterpillar in Nashville Tenn as a Mechanic Helper... Back then you were the Helper (aprintest) and that was a 4 year position before you got to move up to a Mechanic. Basically you did all the work as the Mechanic that you was assigned to watched and instructed and showed you what to do. Yes there was verbal quizzes from time to time. :D I (we) were removing the exhaust from the heads and on those Big Six's the bolts would almost weld themselves in the manifold and the bolts and nuts would not turn at all. If you were STUPID enough to try to turn them you would break them all off in the manifold... Well there is where I first seen this trick and it is cool to watch it get sucked in and disappear. I (we) would mix this in a metal trigger oil can and spray them down several times and we { I } was taking other stuff off to remove the heads. Then all you had to do is use a propane torch and heat it a little and they all came out, no muss no fuss.. I am 65 and Wrenched for 40 years and it has never failed me. BTW you can use plain ATF as cutting fluid (Minus the Acetone) when drilling in metal or cutting threads with a Tap -N Die Set... For the stubborn ones use #90 weight oil for frame rails... Also just plain ATF works just as good with some heat and a little Jack-N-Coke... LOL

Hi Steve` could see the hurt you felt when you mention your brother, I thank you for mikes fantastic solution to unseized components, Its great that knowledgeable persons give welcomed advice and like to help others, This technic with these to liquids will now be past down to my family and so on, There are certain plastic squirt chemical bottles that acetone will be happy being left in if people prefer over metal due to the cost, I also learnt from an old timer I must share` when you come across rusty seized nuts and bolts, Never try to loosen first always crack it by tightening it first because you ain`t trying to force the nut onto the rust there's more likely to be less to no rust on the other side that ain`t expose to the air
