I also have a 2' piece of aluminum tubing to slip over the end of a breaker bar.......if that doesn't work I have a few huge pry bars that I can put in the other end of the aluminum tube. I've broken many.......well everything lol



Ah we aren't anywhere near average....
Err on the side of caution. Man the things I've caught on fire. And I do know better. Hoping all make their work easier. Not multiply

Flash point of oil is around 93C. You aren't trying to cut, just expand and contract the metal to break it loose. Would I use a torch on that bolt? Maybe... depends on how hot it is and how f'n tired I am. Although I'd hector my hub to give it a try first. After 22+ years on heavies he can convince most shit to move, including me, I then decamp to the house for a smoke and sometimes a glass of whine.

MAP gas is my coolest portable torch. LOL. Propane. Ha ha.

And you would be surprised how many people think they need cherry red to remove. Or don't cool with water or at all before trying to loosen.

TY for the interaction. I already tried hard. And really happy others can do things right. Most people I know here would go get light bulb grease or a left handed monkey wrench at the hardware if suggested.

Trying to get this Evolve-D dry pen charged. Was a TY gift this morning. Skeptical. But tired of sucking butane.

Hope your day is good as it sounds like you intend.

Ah I actually thought "weld a nut on........if it's still full of oil" would take a longer time to heat up a few quarts of oil :)

I've dunked a lot of cherry hot metal into oil on purpose.

Could also warm up the car and put some dry ice to it.

I use MAPP when trying to solder under freezing conditions, otherwise propane seems sufficient. As for oxyacetylene LOL

Yup quenching! The welding a nut on it is clever. I'm so lazy it would be vice grips and hammer ha!

Welding nuts on work great :shock:

Really does lol you have a spot for a outer weld or an inner one or both.....pretty slick in many situations.

Out cutting grass before the rain comes (hopefully) and took this pic.

I have never seen as much pollen as I have this year. That is from the oak trees but I was watching the neighbor's tall pines the other day and when the wind gusted, it looked like smoke coming off them.

Gold dust everywhere but not worth a cent. I keep cleaning my tractor air cleaner every week. Normally a twice a season job.

ROFLMAO, so I'm just a tad polluted. It was a long hard day researching and filling out forms and I treated myself. Anyway I stared at this for a long time before I realized it was not Kief! So disappointed.

Roger! You're a lot cuter than I imagined (and I mean that as a compliment). Although your handprinting sucks almost as bad as mine (not a compliment).
