J/Y TRICKS !

[K10ANDYKHAMNIC]

OK all yall bow down , im a genius . haha not but i found a good trick for rusty bolts in a jy that doesnt allow torches and u didnt bring any penetrating oil . so there i was , with my longhandle S-K 3/8s drive ratchet trying to get the u bolts off this dang fizzord F-one-fiddy .Trying and trying , kicking the wrench they wer so tight and rusty , well i got one side off and then proceded to the other . Well when i started the brakeline was in the way , so i pulled out my chisel and chopped the offending line out of the way and in doing so ,sprayed brakefluid on my self . then it hit me , put the brake fluid on the bolts dummy ! ill never buy penetrating oil again , just save your old brake fluid , it really whoops the fizzords rusty bolts ! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif good ole /forums/images/graemlins/usaflag.gif thinking . /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif

my exhaust pipes were rust and when i got brake fluid on em, they cleaned up real nice, but if u dont wipe it all off and clean it, then they will rust right away again

OR
use the cold chisel to split the nuts off and then they spin right off /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Good idea man. Me, I always carry a 4.5ft length of heavy wall tube to use as a "slip on" breaker bar. Makes a good walking stick too.

one thing we do here, is use never-seize on the threads on the U-bolts for the exaust, i can free mine up nicely while my buddy is stubborn and likes to break his U-bolts off, go figure, but yea, brake fluid does wonders to rusted parts, i used it when takeing the BIG U-bolts off my rear axle, it did indeed work, and i was pleasently surpized. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
