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!

Spent 2 hours on one bolt removal. About to give up when I watched your video Rob. Gave the bolt a good tap and it unscrewed easily. Thanks!

Thank you for this video. I have had to remove my car battery this weekend in order to recharge it and one of the bolts that fixed the battery to the car was so rusty I couldn't turn it at all.

Rob with Kimball Midwest, you saved me today. Thank you.
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.
Plain English and straight to the point. Very helpful and no bs time wasting crap.
This dude is a how to video rock star! Nice work sir.
No BS. just info. Thank you!!!!
Awesome information! Thank you Kimball Midwest.
Such a short video and I learned lot in that little bit of time. Thank you!
Bolts on my jeep's starter!, after heating both bolts for at least little more than 10 min each and a lot of elbow grease,I got them out! Thank you sir for your invaluable post!😅
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!
Great information, thanks for taking the time to make this video
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.
Best explainer ive seen on youtube to the point all info u need most people seem like they need a damn friend
Great info... Really widened my limited knowledge in this situation. Nice!
Nice video. Answered everything that can possibly go wrong.
Excellent Video.
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.
Awesome advice!
You just saved my butt. I tried everything one step at a time. When I used my plastic welding gun for heat, even though I let it cool a minute, the stripped bolt stuck to the wratchet and came right out ❤🕊
I love how I had all the exact tools you mentioned when I came across this situation 🤦🏽♂️
Wow just saved me a huge loss! In the middle of the night. Thanks so much.
GREAT INSTANTLY TO THE POINT VID , AND MUSIC EVENS A PERFECT FIT
You are the man!! Thanks for the tips.
Great help. Thanks.
That was fantastic, well done sir
Great video Rob!
Thanks, that worked a treat!
Great explanation. Thanks man
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.

Tip+ 1: Use quality tools. I tried everything with a Philips screw with a cheap screwdriver, but it was stuck. 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. :)
Thanks, greatly.

This is brilliant! My car is getting older and I was wondering what happens if I break a bolt while trying to loosen it. It already happened once and I had the car towed to a shop and had to pay them to finish the job I was doing. I'm going to buy an impact gun, an Induction Heat Tool Kit and this bolt extractor for emergencies. I'll finally be able to work on my with peace of mind. Thanks!!!!!
Cool. Thanks!
Have you ever used a nut-splitter? My dad had one and i broke it, doing a cv joint, when i took it to Sears for a replacement (gratis) they had no idea what it was and i had to find it myself.

The background music was a bit distracting, but the video was A+... short and sweet and to the point.
You make it look so easy….. if only
I have truck bed rails I want to take off, I don’t have a tight bolt, but I loosen a bolt and about quarter way it just turns and turns doesn’t go any further, would using an extractor work since the threads are crossed I’m pretty sure,
I use a small hammer. Tapping the bolt. The hammer vibration loosens the rust, moves the oil with each impact. I got the donut gaskets tightened on my 78 f100.
Cool thanks
