Loosening stuck nuts
A friend sent me this and I thought I would share it with MLU, no idea if it works though. Has anyone heard of it or tried it before?

New to me
Hi Japes
Candle and lighter new to me, but logical little heat and some kind of penenatrating lubricant. Will give it a try see if it works. Cheers Phil |
It does work
I've heard from numerous sources that this works, and very well. Give the time and materials required it would have to be worth a try.
The other old chestnut is when just one nut on a wheel absolutely refuses to move, in which case you fit all the other nuts loosely, fire up the vehicle, drive it forwards ( or back, depending on the hand of the thread ) and then just stamp on the brakes to force the wheel to rotate just a fraction, which often frees it enough to start moving. Used that a dozen times over the years. |
