Great tip ... Thank you! A bit of anti seize compound or grease on the replacement bolt should stop the problem from happening again in the future.
you got that right then you would never need to do this ...thanks for the great comment :)
This channel is a gold mine. Literally.
A AL thank you so much my friend and we are very happy to have you here with us :)
This was a lifesaver! Wtih Liquid Wrench, a screw extractor, and propane torch I finally got it out! without the torch there was no way it would have come out without breaking my extractor
Nice!! Thanks for watching and sharing Curtis! Have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Another good tip. I've had bad luck with easy outs breaking in the past but I've never tried using them to transfer the heat to the stuck bolt. It's a great idea. I'm sure the heat helps wick the penetrating fluid into the threads.
Thanks for the video. Much appreciated.
thanks Bruce very much...you are an asset to our channel :)
Just purchased used 2012 Prius and when the owner went to remove the bolts he broke both of them! I'll try this method. thank you for sharing!
Absolutely, thank you for watching and sharing. Have a great day and good luck with your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Yes a great tip. I usually use some stainless stick lubricant on the bolts holding my license plates before use
very wise Sidney, if more people did this to many of the bolts and hinges and areas prone to rusting they would never have to worry about it again. thank you for the great comment.
I did not use a torch to get this to work (didn't have one on hand). I had tried with the smallest easyout bit, and it did bite onto the stuck bolt, but did not budge whatsoever (18v makita brushless). I drilled out the screw further until I was able to get the next easyout bit to grab onto the metal (initially it would just spin as it was not contacting enough surface area. I still had to use the maximum torque on the drill, but it finally came out. If you are facing a similar issue as me, I would suggest trying to drill out the screw a little more, until you can use a larger bit that will contact more surface area.
Thanks. I am wrestling with stripped license plate bolt heads.
Thank you for the view and comment, we appreciate the input from your project it helps other viewers as well my friend! Thanks again, hope you have a great day. mad Mike
Nice tip. Thanks. I like the touch of the rusty crescent wrench. Lol.
why thank you
I will remember this one!
thank you very much...you are an asset to our channel :)
Most screws never break off flat like that, anyway, you have to grind the screw flat (if needed) and use cobalt drill bits, many screws / bolts are soft metal but if you run into a hardened one you can drill all you want with a regular drill bit, it ain't going nowhere unless you have a cobalt drill bit. As far as heating it up, I will try that next time!
thank you Cosmo we are very glad to have you here with us..its comments like that that will make our channel very useful to others..:)
I didn't try heading with the torch. But, my easy out broke leaving a bit of piece inside. I didn't even put much pressure. I used Irwin Hanson screw extractor instead of easy out. May be that's not good quality. Now, I have to figure out how to deal with that.
Well you may be in luck, one thing about screw extractors and easy-outs is that they are very hard and brittle so take one of these amzn.to/3U4ZYGo use the smallest one possible for your situation and start chiseling and busting out the easy-out. Once you get the easy-out out of there, you are definitely going to have to heat up the busted bolt red hot, then use another screw extractor. If you do not want to heat it up, you may need to take one of these amzn.to/3FMkpnZ in the appropriate size, it's the only thing that will take the bolt out then you will have to re-tap the hole with the appropriate threads. You are basically drilling out the busted bolt, larger, then just re-thread. Hope this helps Jitansu, have a great week and all the best on your project. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Awesome tip. Has always. I Liked,Shared and added to Playlists.
bobby thank you very much my friend :)
I know nothing about cars, and I found this for a friend, but you are hilarious, and if I were to do a podcast again, I'd want to do it with you!
LOL Thanks Amy!! We appreciate the view and comment, have a stupendous week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Another Amazing Tip...Thank You !
Thanks for the great comments to the channel:)
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the donation Kevin!! We truly appreciate the support my friend, we couldn't do it without y'all! Hope you have a fantastic week! mad Mike the hammer SPC & team
What are your thoughts on lefthanded drills for this? Though you probably have more experience with this than I, I'm having great success with lefthanded drills.
they work but the problem we have found with rmoving in a panited area the heat method has never failed up espacially if it is rusted in like this one was... thanks for the great comment.
Wished I had found this sooner. Happened to a used Prius I purchased. I did the first part but then the extractor didn't budge it and I was afraid it would have snapped inside. Didn't think about heating it so I whacked the screw from the inside and the round housing that held it popped off along with the seized end of the bolt. What can I do now? Thinking of using a bolt and nut and screw it but if and when I sell the car I would have to remove the vinyl plastic in the trunk again to access the nut. Pls help!
Yeah you knocked out the threaded grommet, go to the dealership they should be able to order you one for little to nothing. Hope this helps, thanks for watching and asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I have a Lexus IS 250 2008.
I only saw this video AFTER I started using my drill bits to drill the screw and now I think I completely went into the threads. The screws are broken and not coming out at all. What should I do if I have ruined the threads?
If you've ruined the threads, you will have to drill the holes larger with the appropriate drill bit and re-tap threads back into it, use this
amzn.to/3rUJogo Hope this helps Kevin, thank you for watching and asking, have a great day and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! Definitely will be getting this in the future for sure. For now I have just been using the ever so strong 3M Double Sided Tape
@@kevindii7480i was just wondering if anyone ever epoxied the new plate over the old one. Lol. I've got another month to work on my 14yo Prius rusty bolts.
will a heat gun do? Don't have a torch but can get a heat gun.
You can try it JK GV, but if it doesn't work you know what you have to do my friend. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I've got a very tight nut in my engine bay that is pretty much a circle and I only have top down view of it. Will the easy out stick to the side of the bolt for me to put pressure downwards instead of spinning it out?
if I got a look at it I could tell you how to set it can you send a few pictures of it, send it to sweetprojectcars@gmail.com thanks mike
I don't wanna step on Sweet Project Cars toes here, but it sounds like Turbo sockets are what you're looking for. Do a google search or look on You tube for them. I have a video about them on my channel.
thanks for helping him out Bruce if he sends me a pic we will know for sure
Hey Mike, I just sent you an e-mail. Subject is with my username on youtube, SwagSubscriber
SwagSubscriber I sent you an email reply let me know how it goes
What happened to the other vid? Anyway thanks 👍👍👍
We updated it for a better experince for our great viwers :)
so if that doesn't work, would you shock it?
This works EVERY SINGLE TIME :)
Let me guess you found a small flaw in the first upload lol. Still liked it though my friend
LOL you arre correct Kornish...We updated it for a better experience for our great viewers :)
So the heat is the secrete. Mmmmm I tried it a lot and just screw up my skillsaw a couple of day before this video trying to get one of those out. :/
heat transfer is a great thing my friend, especially in a delicate area around paint...
It's a Toyota mess. I have yet to see a video of a seized license plate screw from a different car brand. Everything I'm clicking on is of a Toyota. Cheap engineering. All they have to do was using a plastic insert instead of leaving it metal on metal
It does seem to run rampant on them for sure! Thank you for watching and commenting, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
