Very nice video. I have been a diesel mechanic for over 30 years and I have all of those extractor tools and also have used them all at one time or another. Speaking as a professional mechanic who has removed a lot of broken, rusted and rounded nuts and bolts. You did an awesome job at explaining how to do this type of job and how to properly use the tools. Keep up the GREAT videos. Thanks!!!
As an experienced mechanic I watch these videos out of boredom, but rarely find youtubers who actually know what they're talking about. Nice video
im a 25 year served mechanic and i have to agree he covered it well
@@colinvanfulmechanic my ass, if u Think this is educational you must be a fukin plum, mechanically minded you should be able to turn your hand to most things, I'll bet you two here buy the tools instead of making them, unbelievable

Literally the most informative bolt removal video i have ever seen. Subscribed
Now that’s what I’m talking about :)
Melody ada atau tidak di indonesia ?
Junky DIY guy FANTASTIC video
Agreed!!!!!
Same. High-quality information and gets RIGHT to the point. No chaff here.
This is the most valuable video on TH-cam. No, the internet. No, the world. Thank you.
This is one of the most straight forward and useful videos I have ever seen! Excellent work.
This was a great video. There are countless of top 5 10 35 ways to do some mundane job like removing a stripped bolt but this is by far the best one I’ve ever seen. Just when I was beginning to loose faith with TH-cam. It was refreshing to watch an actual helpful video. Thank you
thanks thomas
Yes, I felt the same way, very nice to add a few tricks to the old tool box :)
Good to see a video that's informative, bright, clear, well-framed, in focus, AND THAT GETS ON WITH IT, instead of pointless 'musical' intros and inane joking to the camera.
Good presentation - much information - to the point - didn't waste time ... thanks
Agreed. Too many "showboaters" out there that could take a lesson from this guy.

The struggle is real.
Very helpful! I've watched a lot of videos on this subject and yours is one of the best. No comedy, no drama, no shouting, no music.
It has been a while since I watched an entire video like this and actually learned something really useful. Thanks!!
What a coincidence! I _always_ grind the points off all the bolts on my engine right before I attempt to take it apart. All fun aside, this guy does a great job of demonstrating tools that makes the tough job a lot easier. If you only occasionally experience rounded off or broken bolts, many places like Autozone, Advance, O'Reiley's, and others allow you to borrow specialty tools and get your deposit back when you return them yielding them as essentially free to use. This was a great video. Thanks Junky DIY guy!
Ive never seen someone with such organised tools. I spend more time searching for a tool than fixing the problem
Yup that's me too can spend 10-15 minutes looking for tools I'm going to use for 30 seconds
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhh 😂
I call this the lumberjack syndrome. Fix the chainsaw before you chop off the tree.
To the average observer, my garage looks very disorganized. They'd be right.
BUT
If someone asks where something is, I can tell them. I seem to have a very good recollection when it comes to wherever I lay my tools.
Where's my 10mm socket? Under the sheet of sandpaper next to the drill press.
I'm weird.
@@oobaka1967 LOL ure ryt..ur damn weird...
I'v seen a tons of similar videos about this issue and BY FAR this was the best !!! No BS but straight to the point ! Kudos to you Sir !
i've been doing this crap for years and i thought i knew all the tricks... you showed me a ton of new methods! thanks for taking the time to make this vid!
GankenBerry HELL YEAH!I Have seen or done all but the very LAST..Never in a hundred years did i ponder “just tap it in and then turn it out”. Ha no wonder i hated them effin extractors cuz they would never work.many new sets n sizes have allowed me to rewrite the book of cuss words. I always say” if i didn’t have a skull i wouldn’t have a brain”.
Genius-Maximus he is
This guy's a pro. He knows how to take out a bolt and knows how to make a video! Thanks for not wasting our time with meaningless footage.
I just replaced my water pump on my 01 Saturn. 3 bolts on the pully, and 6 on the pump. All the same. Naturally I rounded one of the bolts on the pump. Did the hammer and chisle bit. Last guy that did the job did not clean the threads and over tightened them. I cleaned everything real nice and used the best bolts on the pump and the lesser bolts(including the one I chisled) on the pully to access later to replace. I also hammered chisled bolt on anvil to allow me to tighten with wrench.
This is the best instructional video on this subject matter I've ever seen. My father has passed over 20yrs ago and he was my go to guy. I've only known 1 person that exceeded him in knowledge.
Your presentation of all these newest tool developements is at the top of my list. You sir are a master. Thank you for this video.
I normally never do but I have sub'd to your channel, and of course liked.🎉🎉!
Oh, and I immediately rewatched your video and added to my saved list
Nice video with a better than average amount of depth of options. Keep up the good work, you're one of YT's hidden treasures.
I do not know what this man is working and if he can go full time youtube. But this channel is not worse than ChrisFix!
Tnx
Excellent. Very committed and thoughtful
Never knew the extractor wrenches existed, glad I watch the video.
Stripped the nuts for my fan clutch I’m replacing.
This really took a load off my mind.
Thank you.
This is one of the best videos on this subject matter that i've ever seen❣️ Thank you
I’m totally self (TH-cam) taught in later life after I was forced into semi retirement due to health. I’ve learnt more about spanners, sockets and wrenches in this video than every other one I’ve seen. I didn’t know just how much I didn’t know, including the difference between good and cheap spanners.
Thank you and subscribed.
Yep. And he's totally right about the 12 v 6 point thing too. So many of my wrenches and sockets are 12 pt for working in aviation; that I risk getting into trouble each time I reach for one to work on my trucks, always gotta remember to reach for the 6 pt first.
I’m graphic designer
Why am I enjoying this video 😄
When expert knows his stuff
And share his secret
It's satisfying seeing people who know things explain them clearly.
you learned a thing you didn't know before you watched the video, which is a good thing in and of itself.
I wonder if Chrisfix knows there's a metric version of himself. Lol
Came here for this comment!
Exactly lol
Hahahahahhahahahahhaahhaahhahhaha
The Great Value version of Chrisfix 😂😂
Lol i came here for this!!
Few tips I learned the hard way.
When using the spiral extractors on broken bolts; if possible always pre-drill a pilot hole all the way though the bolt, then blow the hole up to the proper size for the extractor. Common practice in drilling steel, but if the extractor breaks off inside the bolt, you can often use a punch and hammer the broken extractor tip deep into the bolt and then use the next size up extractor to hopefully get the bolt out. The material in the extractors is hardened and brittle so good luck trying to drill through it. Pre-drilling the bolt out is a fail safe. Also be mindful of what is behind the other side of the bolt and your drill depth too.
Also use a Tap Handle when using the extractor and not a crescent wrench like shown in vid. Always seems that if I use a crescent wrench I am inviting disaster, in that the extractor will either break or wallow out the hole due to improper alignment and pressure while turning. Also not a big fan of pounding them into the bolt any more, either. Seems like that tends to crack the gray steel extractors. The style he showed that came in a kit with the proper size drill bits.
To remove the bolt from the extractor you need to remember to turn right not left or you'll break the extractor that way too.
You're a practical pro. Great video for those of us that venture into DIY and get into trouble.
Most excellent explaining and demonstrating numerous methods to extract rounded, rusted, and broken bolts and nuts, from least to most difficult. The clear view of each situation and the cure deserves special notice. Thank you, Sir.
dude thank you so much for showing a video that actually shows the process unlike these other dudes that don't even show you how to properly use extractor. your video saved me!
Incredibly well made video. So much information, presented clearly, concisely, and in great detail. Beautiful camera work too. Thank you and well done!
one of the best videos ever. you covered every possibility
Thank you for your clear and accurate detailed description of resolving such a potential difficult problem!
Genius! The most comprehensive video I have seen. Pure gold for the amateur wrencher. Thanks!
Best video on the net, showing the most comprehensive ways to remove broken or rounded bolts. Wish I saw this before grinding the head down on the rounded bolt I've been trying to get off for 2+ weeks.
Awsome video, you are a legend for breaking your own stuff just to show us how to fix it, keep up the good work
Wow, very impressive and thorough! There is one other method that I've used that you didn't mention and that is to cut the sides of the nut or bolt head flat again. You can use a file or a grinder to recreate the flats and corners of the bolts to get a wrench to fit onto it again.
Excellent Video. Best presentation I've ever seen on YT.
Why has it taken me so long to find this video, best one out there, not confusing, straight to the point, and you can see everything he does, step-by-step
I just was putting plugs in my truck. Last one I snapped the bolt off to remove the coil do zI can get the old spark plug out. I thought I was doomed!!! Until I found this video!! Thanks bro! You just saved me a garage bill!! Good video!
Now that’s a dedicated TH-camr, braking stuff on his own Camry for our entertainment.
Now that’s what I’m talking about
Who says it's his? Lol

Allen McKinney he literally said "my car" in the video
*breaking*
A surprisingly good video. Clear and concise with no extraneous distracting chatter. Though you did omit using a ViceGrip.
I find vice grips are good on smaller bolts, but they have shorter handles and can’t put a good amount of leverage so they didn’t make it to my top 5 list. Otherwise they’re good too.
Incredibly well done, Sir. Great editing and camera work, thorough sequence and close-ups! A welcome example of a how-to vid.
Holy crap, this is pure gold!!! By far one of the most concise, and expertly presented videos on YT. Bravo!!!!
Im a mechanic and this is this best , in depth description of a multitude of situations you will run into. Instant Sub & like🛠
Just one thing I've noticed. When taking a bolt out, you dont want to heat the bolt, you want to heat whatever the bolt is screwed into, so it expands. If the bolt expands, itll actually be harder to get out, as the bolt expands inside where its screwed in. Great video Though!
Right. He should have heated up the nut end. And not just for a few seconds, you gotta cook it . Glowing red if you have a good torch set up.
Wouldn't you heat the bolt to expand it then wait till it cools and contracts to try and loosen it again?
@@ryanwatterson4038 Yeap!
Yes ,heat up the bolt and cooled down with cold water ,to contract .
It will come out using small vise grips .
another high quality video with the right amount of info
This video was super informative and explained the most common types of nut and bolt extraction issues. Do more of these videos!

Nice to see old tricks have not been lost. I have been using tricks like this for over 50 years.
Brother this is what they call "Complete Guide" Awsome man !!! I love the final summary part alot ...
One of the most straightforward and useful videos I have ever seen!
This was way more informative than I expected. Thanks!
I always heat then quench with penetrating oil. You use the rapid contraction to draw in the oil on the freshly dried threads. Works every time..
kick ass video. im not sure if it could've been done any better. the variety he covered was amazing. great video!

"GOD!' THE ALMIGHTY FIRST!" I wish I saw this first. I would have saved a lot of money. My jeep lock lug nut was stripped and we banged and banged the nut until it was not removable. Had we known about these sockets,...maaaaaan! (lol!) I would have been done it in no time flat and back on the road. I could have bought all these sets of extracting bits for what it cost me to get another rim, exchange the tire from on rim to the next and getting the jeep towed. Wow! Thank you. Well, it looks like I'm on the prowl to find all these tools to keep them with me even in my tractor and trailer. Won't go through that again. You are the maaaaan!
M.A.G.A
I found this to be the BEST video explaining all the options to remove nuts and bolts in tough situations. Thanks man so much.
Most informative video on the subject. Very well done. Although throughout the video I kept thinking "how many tools does this mafk have?"
Really good video compared to others I have seen, hope this gets the views it deserves.
5 minutes into this video and have already seen a bunch of tools I've never seen in my life, LOL
Lmao!
LA Prepper most of the tools he is using is standard tools a professional mechanic will own. He does have some speciality tools which are nice to have but expensive but nothing he is using is extremely obscure or hardly used.
U r ri8 man
I remember seeing the impact driver for the first time. My whole world changed LOL
@Daniel Rosamonda Most guys will have a socket set. I don't remember a time when I didn't have sockets and wrenches available to me as my father was a backyard mechanic however we never owned an extraction socket set. We always used other methods. I've since bought a set and, thankfully, haven't had to use one yet.
One of the most comprehensive and concise extraction videos and I've seen a lot. Not explicitly mentioned but fairly obvious, you may need to try a few techniques before getting that stubborn fastener off.
Very insightful video, and I especially appreciate the tool list in the comment!
Great video, I'd like to add one more method for rounded heads. There is a tool for tightening round things: a pipe wrench. I have removed broken exhaust manifold studs from a blazer with one of these. Inexpensive and a must have in any garage
Stilsons?
@@geoffgreen3345 Yes
Video is so informative and interesting im watching it even though I don’t have any rounded bolt!!
Everyone who gave you "dislike" is a moron! I haven't see more well made and informative video than your on the matter. Thank you for your good work!
There seems to be a gang of "dislikers" hitting the dislike button on everything they read.
They are unfortunates who defecated their brain out at birth.
@@ivanolsen8596 Sad, but true. Cuz i don't see anything to be "disliked" here. It's a very well made and informative video. And obviously, if you reach that far (to this specific upload) you have been stuck on a freaking bolt like me. And you were wondering "how to" and is there an easy way. And i've been seen tons of videos like that but none of them covers a half of methods described and presented here. I think kids nowadays just want some "polished" 4-5 K videos with FX and lightning and what's inside in terms of content and information has no matter and value. So Yeah! This is a great video!!!
Totally agree. There just dyi people that sit and watch TH-cam all day..
@Blashzo Could be they were disappointed, as am I, because of misleading title about a 'deep hole'. Dealing with deep hole breaks can be miserable and are often unique. The removal depicted in this video is fairly routine.
Yeah, very helpful video.
I really like this type of content. I started working at body car repair shop, but they do repair heavy stuff like big trucks, buses and I sometimes need to open or close something so I need to at least know these tools even exist. Thank you, I will keep browsing your channel
DIY'er for years, worked in fabrication, so I'm familiar with tricks of the trade. But man, I really have to hand it to you - you put together a great proof of concept video.
Thank you SOOOOO MUCH!. I have a broken fastener bolt on my engine block and there videos that are like 30 or 2 min long that dont help but this was simple, to the point and informative. I have a drill and now know exactly what to buy
one of the best videos on youtube, thanks for taking the time to make it!!
I just came to see the broken bolt extraction .. but the full.vidoe is so nice . Thanks
This is absolutely awesome! That said, who had trouble understanding what he said between 3:45 and 3:55 (without playing the video over and over to try to discern his English). But that said, I had never even heard of extractor sockets! - this is a great video!
Great video, I have 1 bolt that is not coming out, and after welding it, it has hardened and after 5 hours of drilling it barely drilled using several brand new dewalt drill bits. Any idea
Good job, I enjoyed your video a lot. I didn't know that 6-point had more contact area than a 12 point, always thought it was the other way around. I might do a video like this myself, you left out the old method of hack sawing a stripped bolt head to allow removal with a screw driver and in addition to penetrating oil, you can smack a bolt with a hammer a couple of times to help loosen stuck, rusted bolts. Thanks for this video, it was excellent!
Clint Hightower
12pt are made to be easier to slip on a bolt when it is hard to fit a 6pt. When you have to go in at an angle. The 6pt. Has to go straight on and does grab better.
The only reason why I know about 6 vs 12 point wrenches is because an old coworker of mine told me a story about fighting with an employee at autozone. He needed a 6 point and the autozone guy kept offering him the 12 claiming that it was better. My coworker insisted that he was only interested in a 6 point. The autozone guy clearly didn't understand and kept saying why would you want a 6 when you could have a 12 point.... this is when my coworker blew up in rage 🤯😡
I hate hate hate 12 point sockets. I stripped several bolts when I was a kid before I figured out the whole contact area thing.
Excellent video. Best one I've seen.
Thanks!!!
Amazing information and great footage. Very useful video. Thank you
Wow, very informative video, thank you.
i have removed a lot of rounded bolts ,nuts and broken bolts in my time, but i just learnt a few tips. loved the vid
Thank you! Moved to a new town and got an oil change before realizing the shop was no good (I was pregnant and couldn’t do it myself). They shaved my engine oil drain bolt. Here I am now changing my own oil & I just saw the bolt months later rip!!!
I'm sure they've been mentioned already, but vise grips can work really well too
depends if u like split knuckes from fist bumping your control arm
There are vise grips that have three flat sides to clamp down on the bolt or nut or line or whatever. They work great. I have three different sizes.
Good video, covered most ways of doing it, including one I’ve never seen, those extractor wrenches look handy!
Watching this even though I don't need to because it's Soo satisfying, 👍
Im a fan
it's a big use.
In future most probably ^^
this is amazing, I have worked in a mill for 32 year s and not seen all of these was an operator not a millwright never the less took apart a lot of things great info
Oh my. The welded nut on top of the screw is the best idea ever. Thanks Junky DIY guy!
First thing is to spray with penetrating oil, second hit it several times with a hammer and punch or chisel to hopefully vibrate the rust loose and help the oil to penetrate.
Yeah, my thought exactly. Good quality penetrating oil (like PB B'laster) may seen like a desperate move, but it sometimes makes an amazing difference. The good stuff is like paint remover, so when I use it on my boat I am careful to shield the area from overspray.
I have a reverse thread socket. It works miracles.
Love the explanation.. it's fool proof
I really don't regret subscribing to this channel. He always demonstrates the variety of options and i like that... Great for when you are shopping for ideas.😊😊😊
I came for the broken screw and i learnt sooo sooo much more!!
Best complete bolt extraction video I’ve seen so far. How would a headless bolt with an inch of shank accessible be removed? This bolt is was holding the water pump and timing chain cover to the engine block.
I can't believe I haven't come across your channel before. Excellent video. New subscriber.
I was replacing exhaust manifold and the bolt was striped so now this video is going to help
how did it go ? which method did u use and did it work ?
Kinda like Chris fix
👍
Josh Hill now in metric
Better*
Except he doesent say "Good!" After literally undoing or fastening anything.
John Harrington haha
Man this was professional, straightforward and satisfying to watch. Well done!!
Hey man I really work a lot at home at my hobbies like tractor cars and even Cessna planes....... your Video showed me 2 ways to remove bolts I didn’t know..... thanks ... very informative
you're welcome man
Knipex FTW! great video
absolutely fantastic pliers
My friend always brings his Knipex with him when he helps me with my car. He says it's the best money he's ever spent on a tool.
I suggest you only ever use a Tap Wrench, not some pliers, when using an extractor. Those bastards shear apart real easy if you put any sideways pressure on them with a twisting force. Never buy cheap, and always drill a hole for the biggest extractor that you can fit.
I also always give rusty bolts a good sharp smack with a drift to free rusted threads before I even put any wrench on them. Reduces the chances of rounding off a bolt in the first place.
Here to check out the Irwin Bolt-Grip Extractor as a way to get out some "break-off-head bolts" used to fit restricted (now old and cracked) carb boots from an FJ1200.
it have one more if the round off bolts is a size 12mm u can use a 11mm 16point socket and used a hammer to poung the socket on it
good trick Aalim
16 point?
Works but sometimes you have to sacrifice a socket for this buy make sure it has lifetime warranty
Yeah, that method works well. I've done that many times. Eventually you'll have to buy a new wrench after doing it to a few bolts. Box end breaks but worth the time saved.
I am not from nut bolt world nor I think would ever need to use what I learned here, but man oh man you have explained it in the best way i have ever seen. Your content was so precise and informative love it. 💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you so much! I could not have gotten through this day without you, my friend.
Rusty bolts 😂. Thats the cleanest 98 Camry i have ever seen.
exactly my thoughts. try this on a volkswagen from the 80s where you are the first one to put hands on. :D
@@snakeplissken2148 never saw a vw where the bolts had enough time to rust stuck 😁
@@matsgranqvist9928 in poor countries vw are from 25 to 35 years old and still run, you bet there are enough rusty bolts. I also have one 36 y old. Mechanics cry when I go to replace a part on it.
@@snakeplissken2148 Try working on a car that's only been used on an island in the Atlantic Ocean. The rust will astound you.
I remember working on a car that was never near the ocean. I only saw dust. Every bolt was basically new. It was almost pleasurable knowing nuts and bolts weren't going to round off.
My thought exactly! That car has obviously never seen road salt, or even worse, that vile brine that they spray on the roads now!
This was very informative! Good job.
Another tip if you have to resort to drilling- Drill as close to "on-center" and perpendicular as is possible, in case extractors fail, because you may have to drill out to close to, or exactly, the minor diameter of the threads and remove the remaining material with a pick or tap
Why is this so relaxing. I love how you covered every the different scenario.
This guy is good. His explanations are quite clear.
I wanna share something, one of my bad experiences when removing jammed nuts. Some nuts can caused you insane can even caused ring spanner break in pieces... some takes you extra an hour to break torque. Beware when removing nuts at automotive rusted brake caliper nuts, crankshaft bolts. Excessive force without securing proper sit/ position can end up rounded...
Lastly when reinstall/ reused long bolt for engine block to head, becareful. You cannot follow the instructions from the workshop manual exactly on certain force like NM (Torque Wrench). You will send up break the long bolt. You will have to go ultra extra work. Reduce the recommended tightening force abit by workshop manual. Don't be like me.
OMG, I really need some of these tools in my garage. Thank you so much!
So Say We All !
