altezzaclub Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 lol! Put this straight into the Wiki!! This is the sort of info that we need for real work!! Some of these things I've never heard of, and they are so clever! Quote
towe001 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) There's also a spray you can get called "RH-22 Reluctor" or something. But you'll pay though the arse for a 750mL can - approx $25. It'll help to break a frozen/rusted nut. Can get it in the tool section of bunnings. Edit - if you have the access - a gas-axe (or a gas torch thing) set to just to the flame can work a treat. Heat the nut to expand it. Edited July 10, 2010 by towe001 Quote
Trev Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 Here ya go Trev :P I don't want or need 1 as I use 6 point sockets but I reckon they would be good for removing wheel lock nuts, I have tried to explain them to a few people over the last few years but never actually knew what they were. Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 Farken legend, I have been looking for them for a while, I reckon they would come in handy for stuff like this. Sorry, sounded like you did want one :P Quote
Trev Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 Sorry, sounded like you did want one :P Yeah but if I knew the name of them ages ago I would of bought some wouldn't I :bash:, I just never knew what they were, Was trying to explain them to my dad one day as he often picks up cars with lock nuts and no socket to undo them.

Heat the nut to expand it. cheaper one by Loctite is FREEZE AND RELEASE about 13 a can, and actually has a type of liquid nitrogen to freeze the fasteners, causing corrosion to break, then the penetrant wicks in.

Redwarf Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 The best release agent I've ever used, bar none, is some stuff called Mouse Milk. And a heat gun. As used by Aviation Professionals. :P Also +1 for Metrinch tooling. I've removed circular bolts with my set. Quote

Thirteen13 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 +1 for this thread, this is sooooooooo helpful. Nothing is more frustrating that a rounded nut, espcially when you have been through hell trying to undo it ;) Quote
