How to Remove a Rusty Bolt in 3 Simple Steps

[@wayneessar7489]

The controlled and gentle hammer tap with the metal hammer is an important step also, as you showed.
It creates a vibration that allows the oil to penetrate better.
In different applications, not a crankshaft on an engine but a fastener that may be corroded in some way, a more aggressive tap might disturb the rust and the oil can flow in.
Very good video! 🏆

Then before you go to refit the bolt, make sure it's in good order or replace then put copper grease on the threads . 👍. A handy topic at this time of year Matt.

Your claw hammer looks a bit iffy, is the shaft loose? The shaft ought to go to the top of the head.

I know mate. Is been semi repair a few time but rest assured the head is secure.
