Thank you Sir! I was battling some rusted exhaust bolts and was banging my head on the wall. I sprayed penetrating oil on the bolts for two days prior to working on them. You suggestion worked with flying colors. If you are ever near Pueblo, CO I will take you out for a cold one. Thank you!
I am glad it worked out and it is my pleasure to help. I actually thought about going out there ever since I watched undercover billionaire with Grant Cardone. So If I am ever out that way, I might take you up on that 🍻. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please like share and subscribe.
Does it work well with rusted bolts? Or is it more so intended for a bolt that has been rounded off? I’m battling with some rusted exhaust bolts right now lol
good video. My Dad taught me to soak it with liquid wrench. When bolt breaks loose, go back and forth so you can clear the rust from the screw when loosing it. This technique prevents bolts from breaking and a weird place.
Thank you. And yes your dad is correct. But also keep in mind that it might not work every time. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please like share and subscribe
2:04 gotta be one my favorite sounds of all time
I definitely love that sound.
I was almost ready to take out the tiger saw. I’ll try this out tomorrow.
Didn't know there were extractor sockets, now I do. 👍🙂
This comment right here is why I make these videos. It is very satisfying when I hear that I helped someone out or showed them something new. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please like share and subscribe.
You introduced me to a tool that saved me so much time and effort. Thank you
That’s what I like to hear. I am glad it helped. Thank you very much for taking the time to comment. I greatly appreciate it. Please like share and subscribe.
Yes, I'm going to invest in a set of these tomorrow morning, then attempt to change a flange gasket.
Amazing!! And you were able to save the stud as well. I'll be looking for an extractor socket set soon. Never know when I might need one. I need to extract some body mount nuts too from a rusty undercarriage.
2 down, 2 to go. thanks for the suggestion!
No problem. I’m glad it helped you out. And that makes me feel great knowing that. I also greatly appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please like share and subscribe.
Great idea. I forgot I had these sockets. Perfect. Thanks for video. 🙏
No problem. Thanks for watching and commenting. I greatly appreciate it.
Yeah I was about to torch the bolts. Good video.
Clank, clack, Music to my ears. Just spent 2 hours rolling around on the ground cutting my y pipe bolts out because my biggest turbo socket wasn't big enough. Grinder, saw, grinder, saw and a few of those 1 sec panic moments from both shoulders getting stuck between the car and the ground. All in all good times, who needs a lift when you have thin foam mates!
I'm going to give this a go tomorrow. Thank you so much for this handy tip.
Good luck. Thank you for watching and commenting. I greatly appreciate it. Please like share and subscribe
Mine are threaded in to the next flange and I can't get a drill in there if I have to drill it out. I think I am gonna try heating the heck out of it. Thanks for the video. Oh well here it goes.
I never had any luck with the extractor. I had to use a nut splitter.
Kinda amazed the bolt didnt just break. Seems to be my luck lol
Alright, I’m gonna have to go in to the shop, and try this method. Laying underneath the car trying to get some seized nuts from exhaust is hard. Torch and wd-40 does not work at all.
Good luck and please be careful.
Some are welded on both sides, thats fun.
My rusted G37 cat. convertor nuts laughed at this tool, just rounded-off even closer to the stud. Only thing that really works is a cutoff wheel.
Lol u got it easy. Mine were so rusted the nut snapped on the bolt
Nice work!👍👍
Thank you very much, I greatly appreciate it.
I’ve been trying to take the muffler off of my car and the bolt seems to get tighter no matter which way I turn it :/
These look amazing compared to mine 😂
I’ve been down that road more then once 🤣

What if you don’t have room for a hammer? Can the socket fit on it without a hammer?
Use a solid wrench and hit it. Don't hit it with a socket wrench.
😂😂😂 I’ve broken a few socket wrenches doing just that!🙋♂️🙈
Try to use along extension to transfer the force of the blow. I’m having the same issue now and looks like I’m going to need to go at the one stuck bolt with a metal multi tool blade because the extractors just rent working.
Thanks
This has to be my least favourite job with wrenching on older cars. Not fun when it all goes south!
Ok how do you take the down pipe off the wastegate i got the 2 top 1z off just could get the 2 bottom 1z off and therez no space to put a extension on to get a power bar or braker bar in...
A dremal saw is working wonders for me just a lot of time
Thanks for advice.
What's the name for this socket?
These are the ones I used but the have different types and sizes amzn.to/3AxIpse
Got a video if Nuts are on the opposite side when socket won't fit onto Nuts (2000 Civic) Cat meets Resonator (3 bolts/3 nuts)
Anyone knows how to remove those rusted Bolts/Nuts (and that top one is very hard to get to)?
I don't want to drop the exhaust system down.
It can't be tight if it's a liquid
True, but acetylene is expensive nowadays.
Thats what she said
In this situation I would assume you replace the bolts when repair is done. Are there special bolts/nuts to use so it doesn't happen again?
I just watched a video and the guy said use brass bolts.
I found that a good small wire cup brush and a few seconds with the high speed drill on an old bolt works wonders,I mean why fight the rust when you can just remove a large portion of it?
That’s great, but would you agree that your method would produce poor results with a rounded off bolt in which case you would need one of these extractor sockets amzn.to/3lBUuU8
@@handymanPF true,once rounded there is only a handful of ways to get it off,but I've had extractor sockets shatter,break,round their teeth off and fail before thus resulting in the hack saw and Dremel with diamond wheel methods. But removing as much rust as I can with the wire brush and drill method then hitting it with pb blaster has many times yeilded far more easier results for me.
I love PB blaster. That is a must have for every garage amzn.to/3Ayoo1T
My flanges just have rusty bolts sticking through them no nuts to loose it’s like rust-welded
That’s very common. Especially if you live in the north and get a lot of snow. The salt and whatever else they put on the roads for treatment during winter months just tear cars up. And it does form something like a weld and a real bear to work with.
@@handymanPF you use the air chisel method on those and find new fasteners, preferrably stainless steel this time
hI handy man good job i am trying to replace my toyota yaris muffler the joint pipes are located in a tight area. Both bolts are similar to yours but my problem they are all turning flying from both side at the same time when you try to open one side ?
Thanks for the comment. But unfortunately for your situation, I would have to actually see what issue you are having. I apologize for any inconvenience. Thanks for watching and commenting. I greatly appreciate it
Fu*k already used the grinder, I'm stucked.
Do bolts come out or stayed there?
How’s it turn out?
Can you use an impact? Or only by hand?
I used impact earlier, didnt work.
Ive got a exhaust silencer i cant get off on my bike and going to try this but my studs and the nuts close to rounding will this be a good method for a 10mm nut thats rounding
Yes
Mine broke they were bad rusted now o cant take out the rest of it to put a new one.
You might have saved my truck lmao
lol, well I hope it works out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy new year
Are impacts a good sub for the breaker bar
It all really depends on the application and how strong your impact is.
Ok…. What if the bolt breaks?
But what if the bolts is rounded off?
Did you treat the studs with penetrant oil or similar before attempting to remove the nuts? I have good grip on mine but it feels as if the studs might break.
That’s the first thing I do. Some times I let it sit for a while and let it soak while I do something else . I use this amzn.to/3uA4eEF to soak it. I have using this stuff for years and love it.
So surprised you could do it without heat.
Every now and then you can do it without heat. I try it first without heat because acetylene is expensive. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please like share and subscribe
Well yeah. That's the nut. I can't get the bolts out
hammer
We have to cut the pipe because they very basically welded by rust in there. And we had no room for a breaker bar lol
Good luck trying to get those rusted studs now
They were fine on this. I just wire brushed all around it and chased the threads and put new nuts on and put it back to work
If I could only fit a socket in the space
I’ve been down that road before. I’m always cursing the engineers who designed some of this stuff. You know a lot of them never worked on cars before.
@@handymanPF Yep. It's been days and still don't have it off. LOL. Going to be taking a compact hack saw to it later.
What do you use for penetrating oil?
The extractor kit.
sometimes you won't have space to get a breaker bar in
Then you will just have to improvise or just use some old school muscle.
Would a 12 point socket work similar if hammered on?
Some people do I believe, I’m not 100 percent sure. I do not. I have used a 12 point on a lug lock though.
Do not try a 12 point! That's why professionals use 6 point impact sockets only on these jobs or an extrator or weld a nut on it with a mig welder or stick welder
12 point will just round it off
What happens if the bolt breaks?
You can try removing the flange by cutting it away and finding the exact size you need here amzn.to/3oaQOec This example I am posting here is just an example . so here it is amzn.to/3Hmsiyo I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.
i dont have the larger pole
Sorry about your luck pal. She's gonna be disappointed.
Got a second hand car and attempted to take the muffler off today, Jesus h Christ, this whole this is one heap of rust, bolts, nuts the lot
Oliver, Oliver Darling, call Mr. Haney. I think our speakers r blown. No No Lisa, call MC ADE. ADE, Darling, whos ADE. Im ur BASS MECHANIC!!
I calling BS, I did basically the same as you, except, the "ROUNDED" bolt, just gave me some more shavings.
I tried this but still wouldn’t work
What was your outcome? Did you try the next size down?
@@handymanPF needed a fire torch to get the job done. The solves most of the problems honestly
I broke two of my 1/8 inch socket adapters trying to get these damn things off 😂
Used a 1/2 in drive so you can get a good pull on them, 3/8 drive at the very least - 1/8 drive is for like circuit board fasteners
@@kellismith4329 i just ended up taking it to a body shop to getting the whole thing cut off and new straight pipe put in. Still with res and cat.
Torch
I'm
Yea sorry but maybe once in a thousand those never hardly work
They work for me.
You don't look so handy
