How To Remove RUSTED, ROUNDED, STRIPPED BOLTS And NUTS!! (Bolt Extractor And Breaker Bar Method)
Removing rusted, stripped or deformed bolts and nuts can be extremely difficult. Metal fatigue sets in, and bolts and nuts lose their shape an integrity. This short video from The Honest Carpenter will show you a simple set of tools that can help extract nearly any nut or bolt!
BOLT EXTRACTORS are unique sockets that are meant to bite into metal as they counter-rotate (in a loosening, counter-clockwise direction).
THINKPRO sent me their 17-pc. set to test.
These bits have scalloped, spiral-shaped inner walls. They're also made from high-tempered chrome-molybdenum steel. Their construction allows them to really clamp down on the FLATS of a nut or bolt, and create grip.
By using a BREAKER BAR (often 1/2") as the leverage tool for your bolt extractor, instead of a typical ratchet or torque wrench, you can create the leverage you need to break rusted bolts loose.
These kits also often come with a short bar--this is for knocking the extracted bolt or nut out of the socket bit.
Thanks for watching!

I usually squirt some rust blaster the day before and with my sears extractor I use it on my 1/2β impact gun never lets me down π

Like others have suggested, I would soak it with penetrant for several hours. Then try to loosen it

Thanks Ethan. This is why I hate being a mechanic! But it certainly helps to have the right tool for the job.

Project Farm did a video on this years ago, and his results indicate that the best solution, defeating all extraction tools and penetrating oils, was simply heating the fastener with a torch. The difference in heat expansion between the bolt and the surrounding metal causes the surfaces to naturally separate.

Hey Ethan, those sockets look like they work well.
A safety hint for you - Do NOT use the heel of your palm to hit the breaker bar.
Once you damage the sleeve that surrounds the nerves that go through your wrists, they can't be repaired.

On exceeding difficult lug nuts I typically extend the breaker bar by sliding black pipe over the breaker bar. This produces a much longer lever arm.

Always learn something from your videos Ethan even if it's not particularly something I am needing right there and then or will ever need in the future. . I love your calming tone and always positive instruction. Have a lovely week.

Great review! Thanks for sharing this socket set.

That is a slick extractor tool set. I'd use a rubber or plastic mallet instead of a hammer with shop towels on it. I would also spray the bolts with penetrating oil and let them soak overnight or as long as you can. I used to use my foot to remove wheel lug nuts on my truck until I broke a bolt off one time (what a bummer that was). Now I use an impact wrench. Unless I was worried about the bolt breaking with a power tool, I would use an impact wrench. My impact wrench has never failed me.

Excellent, always nice videos, thank you very much for sharing

Ahhh, good to share my Sat evening with you again! Guess you had a friend/relative with old tires that gave you the practice bolts!
Shivering black bell thumbs up π

They look llike a great idea. Ive had to hammer sockets onto studs so corroded the sides had pettled out with rust, these look made for the job. great video.
|
Not much of a "trick" just use the right tools.π
P B Blaster is also helpful.ππ½

I would suggest Rust Blaster a day before and this tool may not be needed.

Thanks Ethan for the video.

I like using Kroil penetrating oil any time I am dealing with rust. A cheater bar for the breaker bar avoids any damage to the internals of your wrists etc. Love those sockets! Excellent presentation.π
|
Really great explanation of the tool and how to use it. I've used stud extractors to remove broken or stuck studs from cylinder heads or blocks usually, never the type of extractor that you are using. π

Great kit they do the trick

You would never see this level of helpful instruction even from the manufacturer. Well done Ethan. I appreciate all you do.
