    I've found the most effective way to deal with a stubborn bolt is to dismantle the rest of the car around the bolt, buy a new bolt, then rebuild the car around the new bolt. Rebuilding car = 200 hours Vs Removing stubborn bolt = 4 years Win

    Anybody planning on making a how to video, watch this one... This guy is concise, logical, methodical and to the point.. there is no layers of egotistical waffle to wade through, its straight to the meat in the sandwich from the first sentence and every additional sentence means something. Most people watching these videos are working on their vehicles, have greasy fingers and just want accurate and concise info. He starts with the best initial solution and progresses through the logical next step solution with not one out of step. Much appreciated Kimball West, for great concise and comprehensive information, and for showing how a "how to" video should be done!

    Absolutely fantastic video! My bolt wasn't loosening because my axle kept spinning (I thought holding the opposite side bolt would hold things in place enough). But after holding the axle in place, the bolt started to unfasten. And I think I've made some stupid mistake in past getting myself into this mess. As a solution I probably should get a new axle - cost about 5 euros - (because the screws have been damaged) and a new bolt (because something's seriously wrong with the bolt, perhaps wrong size bolt) - cost about 2 euros. Then just reassemble everything and good to go. Edit: everything works fine without me doing all these steps tho, perhaps I should just let things be until things stop working. I have a spare bicycle in case things go down for the worst.

    My problem was a stuck bathroom faucet cartridge. Hard water deposits locked it in place. I could not get it to move. Yesterday I ended up removing the faucet from the sink to work on it - tried tons of Liquid Wrench alternating with CLR to dissolve mineral deposits , hammering on a breaker bar , all with no success. Tonight I took the faucet outside on our cement balcony and aimed my heat gun at my socket wrench that was in place around the stubborn cartridge and kneeled down on the wrench to put as much force as possible and that did the trick. Thanks for suggesting heat!

    Yeah really want to reinforce the tapping with the hammer. The heat is very useful as well. Had a drain pan plug taking all the force i could muster and after running the engine for about 10 minutes with taps on all six sides of the bolt as well as a couple on the head, it popped off with little force.

    Thank-you for your expertise. I went out and bought a spiffy large irwin vice grip pliers on your recommendation. I had heated my stuck steel armature pipe and nut with my hair dryer - then added candle wax - heated again - nothing - then tried a little sewing machine oil - more heat and another tap with the hammer - gently all around using your wonderful tiny nudges back and forth with the pliers. And it came apart. I was amazed. I think the magic ingredient was the sewing machine oil. Many thanks again.

    All good methods which I use all the time in the workshop. Another method for removing a seized bolt: weld another bolt (preferably a hex head instead of a cap head) directly on top of the old seized bolt. Now undo the new bolt with a ratchet/socket and the old bolt should extract easily because it's welded together. This always works without fail. Note that it probably won't work if the old bolt head is sheared off; it needs to be proud otherwise you will end up welding the bolt inside the housing if you're not careful.

Today I got my toolbox, found the high-quality screwdriver, great grip, the tip did fit better. Got my glove for an even better grip and tadaa, the screw moved immediately and I was able to get it out. It depends on the tool too. :)
