This is driving me crazy!!

Is there some secret trick to getting completely rusted bolts/screws/nuts to come loose/apart? I cannot get a damn bolt off to save my life!

Thanks
Craig

Spray cans of Kroil, PBlaster, torch and ice, Marvel Mystery oil, BFH, BF Vice Grips, etc.

Alternate heating and cool down , with soaking with KB , ect . One last trick ,you may think I am crazy , but it works . If painted surface is not an issue put some Dot 3 brake fluid on it and let it soak overnight . Old trick that really works .

Welcome to the world of rusty trucks.

Spray everything you intend to remove at least two or three times every day a couple of days before you actually try to remove it.

Kroil, PB Blaster, WD-40, and Liquid Wrench are your friends on this journey.
