July 10, 201016 yr comment_450782 lol! Put this straight into the Wiki!! This is the sort of info that we need for real work!! Some of these things I've never heard of, and they are so clever! Report
July 10, 201016 yr comment_450784 There's also a spray you can get called "RH-22 Reluctor" or something. But you'll pay though the arse for a 750mL can - approx $25. It'll help to break a frozen/rusted nut. Can get it in the tool section of bunnings. Edit - if you have the access - a gas-axe (or a gas torch thing) set to just to the flame can work a treat. Heat the nut to expand it. Edited July 10, 201016 yr by towe001 Report
July 10, 201016 yr comment_450785 Here ya go Trev :P I don't want or need 1 as I use 6 point sockets but I reckon they would be good for removing wheel lock nuts, I have tried to explain them to a few people over the last few years but never actually knew what they were. Report
July 10, 201016 yr comment_450804 Farken legend, I have been looking for them for a while, I reckon they would come in handy for stuff like this. Sorry, sounded like you did want one :P Report
July 10, 201016 yr comment_450806 Sorry, sounded like you did want one :P Yeah but if I knew the name of them ages ago I would of bought some wouldn't I :bash:, I just never knew what they were, Was trying to explain them to my dad one day as he often picks up cars with lock nuts and no socket to undo them.

July 11, 201016 yr comment_450834 The best release agent I've ever used, bar none, is some stuff called Mouse Milk. And a heat gun. As used by Aviation Professionals. :P Also +1 for Metrinch tooling. I've removed circular bolts with my set. Report

September 13, 201115 yr comment_553402 +1 for this thread, this is sooooooooo helpful. Nothing is more frustrating that a rounded nut, espcially when you have been through hell trying to undo it ;) Report
