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.

Very true mate
Great tip! 👍
Just found your channel, imformitive & educational 😊
Thanks mate. Glad your finding the video useful.
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.
