Description

We've all come across a nut that over time has rusted itself solid to the accompanying bolt. The rusted bolt is always tough to take off, but anyone with a level head and steady hand can tackle the challenge. The first rule is patience. Getting angry will put you at risk of making it worse. Resist the temptation to force something that shouldn't be forced. Breaking a blind stud could mean hours of drilling out the busted shank. As with all projects, assess the situation and plan carefully.
